About Pocket Hose

But now you have Pocket Hose, which is lightweight and easy to use for all the watering needs in your outdoor spaces.

Pocket Hose Reviews

The concept is good but the casing is not strong enough, it is observed in the reviews written many buyers mentioned about the hose been splitting or bursting which can not be repaired. There are complaints about the leakages just after few uses, they are light weight and easy to use but if a hose can’t hold water it is useless.

Also while using you need to make sure the hose fills up pressure before rolling it out, if it is not under pressure it will tangle and knot. It does not untangle itself like advertised. The hose is supposed to be a 3/4 inch hose but there only 1/4 holes in the brass fittings at each end that restrict the flow of water, and hence a user of this product would not recommend for a job where high volume of water is needed.

Keeping in mind the use of convenience for the customers a shutoff valve would be preferable rather than the hooky nozzle.

What do I get?
You can buy the 25 foot Pocket Hose for $12.99 plus shipping and handling charge of $7.99 at www.pockethose.com. By paying additional shipping and handling charge of $9.99 you can get another Pocket Hose with your offer.

Went through several of these years ago but got fooled by the latest incarnation of this item. After only a month it blew yesterday. New and improved? Baloney! Nice idea but it’s junk and I’m out $40 now. Regular hoses are a pain but they last for decades. Don’t buy this!

We purchased 100 ft. black Pocket Hose from Wal Mart 2 weeks ago. It was a closeout and last one they had. Being only $29 it seemed like a good deal . However, only 2 weeks later it blew apart at the brass end and now is useless. We have had several other of the hoses and they do not hold up well at all. So now we are going back to our trusty, but much heavier traditional hose.

We bought a pocket hose,top brass 2. we have repaired it times in two months. they tell me the only way I can get a replacement is to sent it back to them, with me paying the postage. I have offered to sent them a picture. not good enough.

I purchased the black pocket hose about a month ago (8/17), at a CVS pharmacy, as seen on TV sales rack. As I was moving into anew home I needed a new hose. Used it a couple of times to spray off the driveway, and was using it to clean off my deck and I noticed a bulge near the connection to the nozzle. Until I got to the shut of valve the bulge ripped and the plastic hose exploded. I contacted cvs, they said contact “pocket hose” has lifetime warranty. Contacted pocket hose all I have to do if search my credit statements for proof of purchase… I understand, but am very disappointed, and strongly advise you invest in a better hose

Piece of garbage! Used three times. First two to spray far reaching areas, and I like it for that. Didn’t kink, didn’t leak, and was light although similar to a regular hose when full of water. The third usage was to spray out my air conditioning fins, then this happened. I had to shut the water flow off for a couple of minutes to brush some debris away that I had washed off. Suddenly the hose BURST! I mean POW and water sprayed everywhere.
Do not waste you money on this for the warranty is not honored even IF you can get in contact with anyone to speak with. Dishonorable at best, and fraudulently criminal quite possibly. Get rid of this piece of garbage anyone that seels it, it for isn’t worth your risk and reputation with customers.

I bought the 50′ Pocket Hose for $20 at Home Depot around this this time last year. It WAS quite handy for my wife to use and move around, but it recently developed a small leak and then it bust open with a loud pop. This was not from abuse, we’ve been fanatical about removing from the faucet, coiling it up after it shrinks, and placing it on a chair to keep it out of harms way. So $20 for one year.

Piece of CRAP?? My crap is stronger than this phony advertised Pock Hose 50′. Even the nossle is crap, only a ‘spray’ not good for garden work. Mine does not curl up but full of kinks & 2 leeks. They refused my emails three times for my full refund. Now their email is out, non deliverable. I have filed with the WA consumers protection agency & WA AG offices last week. I WANT MY $29.99 +s&h fee. Kroger’s & Walgreen’s have told me nothing but complaints from customers.

My pocket hose got a small leak early on but I continued to use it. Today I turned on the hose to water my garden and the water gushed from a large hole and upon inspection I found a long 2 or 3 feet of the hose (on one side) was black and melted as though it was burned by fire! The hose worked fine just the evening before! I am mystified as to what could ‘melt’ a large hole, both through the outer lining and the inner tubing so as to leave it hard and brittle! Anyone have an answer, please? Thanks.

I gave this product enough chances (5 new hoses from different brands) and I’m done. I just like it because of its light weigh and easy to store. However, either they leaked water at the connector or the hose just simply busted after few weeks of usage. Do not wasted your time and money on this flex hose, pocket hose or any similar concept.

Have own three of these. They are junk. All of them failed after little use. Have always handled them with care. Always brought inside immedately after each use. each of my purchase were for the new and improved model ..yeah right. Three strikes your out. Never again. Keep your junk

Pure crap, but my wife keeps buying because they are so easy to handle.
Richard Karn is a snake oil salesman. How can a person tell us how strong they are. Showing them hooked up to two trucks and tugging away.

Some lawyer should being a class action suit. Of course the lawyer would get all the money, but at least pocket hose would have quit making false claims.

Possibly the WORST expandable hose ever! Have gone through at least 4 or 5 of another brand over the past few years. Dragging does wear them out but, at least we would get a full summer season out of them. Decided to try pocket hose. Bought in May of this year. probably actually used it no more than 20 times. It is not quite 2 months old. Today it started leaking, and not the usual hole in one spot. The WHOLE HOSE sprung leaks. It is now trash as there is NO WARRANTY!

I have purchased 2 pocket hoses in the past 1 1/2 years, the first one after having it for less than a year split down the middle, the other one split near the water connection as I was watering last night. The hose is kept in the pocket hose bucket so it is not in the elements of the weather. These hoses are not cheap and now I have to yet again buy another one.

I have purchased 2 of these in the last six months and both have exploded. These hoses knot, kink and then explode. I would not waste your money and the company ought to be ashamed of themselves for basically taking peoples money. They need to rethink this hose and take it off the market. Piece of junk!

Save your sales slip. I purchased a pocket hose at Walmart. Used it a couple times and then one morning I was going to wash the car in the drive turned the faucet on and watched the hose expand and unfold and all of a sudden a balloon like budge formed in the hose and when it popped sounded like a rifle shot, I got freightened it was a very loud crack sound people came out of their houses thinking it was a gun shot..very embarrassing save your money…JUNK..

Pocket hosed! What a piece of crap. I bought one of the pocket hoses and after a few months the hose started spraying from a little pin hole. I thought it was suppose to be bullet proof. Or so they said. Don’t buy one not unless you don’t have any other thing to spend your money on.

I purchased one @ the end of the season last year & hooked it up about 5 days ago. It was easy to use, light & obviously flexible…great!
Looking out on my deck this morning, there was a large wet spot under the hose & a fine mist, I thought it was beginning to rain (as it’s overcast), but it’s the freaking HOSE!
It’s literally leaking everywhere!

Bought this 75ft Pocket Hose less than a year ago and used it maybe 10 times. Today it blew apart about 3 ft down from nozzle. This is the 2nd Pocket Hose that has ruptured. I bought this second one only because the packaging stated it was improved. Wrong!! This is the last purchase

this hose is junk and not worth buying because they don’t hold up and the company give you all kind excuse why they want replace it I have bought two fifty foot hose in less than a year and both split want be buying a pocket hose anymore .done

I’ll tell you what I’ll make one and make millions because it won’t break like their styles in a month so park on house here I come it’ll be called the better pocket hose. Great idea but absolute crap material on the inside. You pave the way for me to just make a better material house.

I have purchased 4 of these” what evers”. This is a big rip off. I can’t understand how a product of this POOR quality can stay on the market. However I do understand with the great population of this world it will be sometime before this company runs out of customers. Its a great hose and is light weight, easy tp handle, just don’t run water through it with any type of control valve on the end.
It is hard to fine words to express my feeling for this product. I’m 83 years old and have used many products that did not come up to all that it was advertised to be. This product tops them all

I agree 100% with you this pocket hoses a real piece and a rip off. I bought the first one from Home Depot and it lasted a little while and then I thought it burst just cause it was out in the sun so I thought I’d give a second want to try and it burst a month after I bought it and it wasn’t even in the sun it was in the winter. Upset that this product could even be out there then it fails in less than a year

Don’t waste your money on the pocket hose. I purchased this product thru Publishers Clearing House and only used it twice before the material ripped and sprung leaks all over the hose. This product also did not recoil as shown on television.

I recently purchased 2 Pocket Hoses to connect to the one I already have. I needed a long hose that would reach from my well pump all of the way to my barn. I thoght the Pocket Hose was great because it is so lightweight. It would be so much easier to pull 175 feet of lightweight Pocket Hose than to drag an ordinary hose that far. In an attempt to improve the POCKET HOSE, the company has made the PRODUCT UNUSABLE!!! They did away with the plastic connectors & added BRASS connectors & nozzle that CONTAIN LEAD !!! There is a WARNING on the package that I did not notice until after I’d opened it. It states that you must WASH YOUR HANDS after handling & DO NOT CONSUME WATER that comes from the hose!!! I wanted to use this incredibly lightweight hose to water my animals as well as my garden. I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED !!!

Bought 6 over the past 3 years. The first two burst! Thought we did something wrong. The other four leaked really bad, thought there was something wrong with the washers, no problem there. We are down to two(trashed the other two) and they still leak. Wrapping a towel around the connection helps a little. My days are over with this light weight hose. I will not be buying another one. The good thing about this hose was the weight and how easy it was to store in a small bucket. In the beginning I had recommended the product because of the light weight. I do not recommend the product anymore due to the lack of durability and the safety (bursting apart). It should be taken off the market just for safety reasons alone.

these hoses are a total waste of money. They don’t last very long at all before they either leak or completely burst. And as far as this company, they are no better than their product. They just want to sell as many of them as they can and collect their money but as far as the product being worth it, ABSOLUTELY NOT. PIECE OF JUNK that ends up in the trash

pocket hoses stink. I have purchased 3 over the last 4 years and they all either blew the nozzle off or the hose blew a hole in it. the latest was the 75 ft I purchased the summer of 2015 .this one blew a hole last week. the warranty is useless, cant get anyone at the distributing house. enough is enough

I can beat that I have purchased 3 this summer alone. They CAN NOT be drug across concrete as they advertise because this will damage the outer hose and then the hose inside breaks out and bursts. I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER it’s such a waste of money. Too bad the design is flawed because I like that it collapses. Never again

Bought the green one several years ago. It sprang a leak at the end. Bought another one at Sam’s, was a bargain with 2 in the box. One sprang a leak within 3 months, so I used the other one. I learned not to open the faucet too far. It lasted about 3 months but the leak was just a trickle. Was able to used it the summer again. But I was away and my husband watered the plants for me. He must have turned the water on full bast. I came back to a hose that leaks so back water does not even make ti to the nozzle. So glad I found these reviews. I thought the brass fitting hose was going to be the big fix. Apparently not so.

Purchased the pocket top brass 50 ft hose for$29.99 at Home Depot with a birthday gift card. Loved the hose .it was so light and easy to move around my garden. Hose burst within 2 months. Pure waste of money!!! From reading all the reviews; I cannot believe this product is still on the market.

Had the exact same issue. Loved the hose and it lasted about two months. Also, I did not store it in the sun….just as a precaution; however, that obviously did not work either. Unfortunately, the product worked so well that I ended up tossing my receipt and the container. Bad move on my part!

Not worth a damn! Bought 3 this summer to connect together for watering flowers and they leak within the hose! I didn’t buy soaker hoses, but that’s what happens, I get more water on myself and places in the yard than I do on targeted flowers!

who do i contact about your not so great product ,, We bought the perfect hose deluxe no matter how you hook up the nozzle to it you get a shower ,, we even replaced the washer nothing helps,,, my other one has a split from day one in that hose ,, thought they would be convenient to use ,, NEVER AGAIN < WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY

I purchased three pocket hoses, two 25′ with plastic ends and then the black 25′ with brass ends. I stored them properly according to the instructions. This year all three hoses ruptured and broke. I did not know if there was a warranty on them. I would never recommend them to anyone after they all burst. The black and brass was less than a year old and the other two were on their second season. Do you intend to improve the hose so it will not burst? Thank you!

I purchased the 100′ pocket hose with brass ends about 9 mo. ago. First of all it never did retract as advertised, but that was no biggie. However, yesterday, the hose blew. Is there any warranty on it? I purchased it at Ace Hardware in San Diego.

I had purchased the 50 ft and the 75 ft pocket hose and they have both ruptured and are useless. I loved the hose and recommended it to family and friends. Sorry I did that now. I won’t be recommending it any longer and will stop whoever I can from making that purchase.

bought a 75 foot hose lasted 2 weeks and burst…was not left in the sun and was always drained of the water and hung up on a hose reel….cant get customer service to answer my emails…..wont buy another one

I like the idea but it leaked everywhere at the nozzle after a few times using it. Customer service was worse to try and replace the life time guaranteed hose. They kept (8 emails and phone calls) giving me an email that kept kicking back. NO such valid email. It was bad enough the hose leaked but FALSE advertisement of the guarantee was worse

I purchased a pocket hose two years ago which sprung a leak within one day. Returned it to K-Mart where I bought the hose and received a replacement which within days sprung two leaks and eventually exploded. My wife went to K-Mart two weeks ago to buy a replacement (how stupid are we) and was told by the salesperson to use the hose right after the water has been turned on as the water pressure can cause the hose to leak (can you believe that). I sent an email to Pocket Hose about two weeks ago to complain about the leakage problem and never even received the courtesy of a reply. How does the FTC allow this junk to be sold and/or advertised? And, how does Richard Karn in good conscience continue as a spokesman for Pocket Hose.

I bought pocket hose for $29.99 hooked it up 2 days later sprung leak.
Bought another pocket hose. Figured it was just me. Wife used it for about three days and it broke.
Giving the benefit of the doubt, bought another one. I am now down $90.00, and you guessed it that one broke. Never again will I buy a pocket hose they suck.

got one of the green hoses. Used it several times then a leak started at the inlet end ..then there I took it apart and fixed it . used it several times and then it broke three feet from the same end. so I figured the best thing now was to take it completely apart. pulled the rubber part out and cut off the ends. Now I use the rubber part for soft tie downs in my truck and the outer hose for tight tie downs .I used to drive a flat bed truck and it works very good for long tie downs…

Pocket Hose is the biggest piece of s*#t I have ever bought. I didn’t have the hose 3months before it sprung a leak so I contacted customer service since it is “satisfaction guaranteed”. Well all they wanted to do was back peddle. They finally agreed to send me a replacement but the hose they sent was not what I ordered and it too sprung a leak within a month. Needless to say I was not pleased.

I’ve Ben shafted three times with this hose – I so wanted it to work with our gardening but I’ve had 2blowouts with this hose and the store replaced them but I just opened my new replacement this spring and another blowout on the second day of usage! I’ve loved the thought of such lightweight hose but will not purchase this item again ! 3strikes and I’m out!

This is without a dough the the worst hose I have ever purchased!! I purchased 4- 2 50 ft & 2 25ft, as soon as they were hooked up to water they leaked horribly, Wal Mart would not take them back so guess i’m just out about $100.00

Today I open my 3X stronger ultra 75ft Pocket Hose, cut the water on the outer liner come apart at cut off & on valve exposed about 3ft of the inner liner, it expanded to the size of a 16 oz bottle then with sound of a fire cracker I got wet. This is my second Pocket Hose, I’ll not buy another!

I purchased a pocket hose in 2014. I’ve been very careful with it. Did not store in sun and only watered some plants on my lanai. I liked it so much, I purchased a second. This morning while watering I noticed a bubble growing on the hose. I dropped the hose and ran. Looked like something out of a sci-fi movie and then it exploded. After reading what’s going on with these hoses, I am surprised some government agency has not stopped the sale of these things. In addition Consumer Reports should warn people. What would happen if my face was near the explosion…or a child was close. Finally, shame on the Home Improvement actor selling this product on those infomercials.

Bought the 50ft pocket hose about 2 years ago, never open it till today, 4/30/16.Out of package, I hook it up and turn on the water it started to grow then it sprung a leak. Not happy with your product at all.

Do NOT buy this hose. It seems like a great idea, however the hose leaks, and when/if the green outer covering comes off…the hose blows up like a long water balloon. TeleBrands, which markets this “made in China” product recently settled a class action suit involving hoses purchased at Home Depot. DO NOT PURCHASE THE POCKET HOSE!!

I tried pocket hose since it appeared to be a good idea. The first one I bought sprung a leak within the first three months. I thought that was a quirk so I returned it and bought the best model available at the time. Within six months a bubble formed in the hose which promptly exploded. Don’t waste your money on a product that won’t last.

This is a disturbing product. Read the warning label. Plus, they say you should wash your hands after you are finished. High lead levels. I used it in my fish pond, herb and veggie garden. Never again.

I went through two of these hoses in less then a month.
They will spring a leak a burst after a few uses.
This product is not ready for market.. Not worth
the money. I don’t know how this product made it to
the market.

Like so MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS…, this hose is a joke and complete waste of money!!! I can not say anything that hasn’t already been said. It’s made with the cheapest plastic possible for the fittings, ruptures, DEFINITELY doesn’t stretch up to 50 feet! It would be great if a class action suit was started!

I’ve purchased several pocket hoses since they first came on the market. Without exception, they have all failed under water pressure. You connect to a faucet, attach a nozzle, turn on the water, and before you know it, the hose has burst.
These pocket hoses are garbage.

I work at an Ace Hardware and NEVER recommend your product to customers. We get 4/5 back for defective because it sprung a leak or completely busted open. I don’t know how y’all are still in business, people must be pretty dumb to continue to buy these.

…either that or a TOTAL #@% IDIOT!!!
can’t believe i didn’t do the research on this criminal product before buying… Makes one want to go to the producing company and literally slap someone down… because judging by the class action suits and endless complaints, nothing seems to be putting a stop to this extreme abuse of the buying consumer…

Paid $40.00 for second pocket hose two months ago,
50 ft long. The inner plastic hose now has developed
a 1 inch split and is now useless.

First Pocket hose broke at the connection to faucet after
about 4 months of use so they sent me a new one. Had the
new one bout 4 months and that split at the connection
so after $$$$$$$$ spent buying these pieces of crap

i have decided to never invest in a pocket hose again
i consider my really dumb in purchasing a second
pocket hose….So everyone out there considering buying
a pocket hose. Please DO NOT you will be wasting you
money BIG TIME.

My daughter gave me a blue one in May 2014. It lasted until June 2015 and it blew a hole near the feed end. Not known to me, I didn’t keep it out of the sun/UV rays. Gee, can’t keep a garden hose in the sun. I replaced it with a black one in July of 2015. I kept it out of the sun, never pressurized except when in use. It blew a hole in the middle of it in Oct 2015. Never dragged around anything sharp, kinked or abused. Worthless overpriced junk. Save you money.

I have purchased a total of 4, I only use them in the winter to water my horses,because regular hoses freeze they only last one season I need 2 to reach….by the end of the season they rubber inside either pulls away from the end or it split in the middle. You also have to have a weight on the end to keep it from flipping around….I like the idea of it for the purpose I use it for in my winter watering but it needs to be more durable and weighted at the end….It does get a little expensive replacing them but then again easier than carrying buckets….

The Pocket Hose design is wonderful, but the hose is not worth the money. I have had 4 of these hoses to split/pop during this summer. After each use I put hoses away as not to be exposed to the elements. It’s so easy to use, a breeze to put away after using, but I have spent $80+ for these hoses this summer.

After losing 4 hoses, I purchased a Melnor coil hose from Home Depot for $20. It expands/retracks easily and the hanging rack can be easily mounted for convenient storage. Extends to 50 ft., includes storage rack, compact design.

I have purchased 5 of these hoses (not sure why), 3 of them sprung pin hole leaks and the 4th burst wide open. I am waiting for the last one to leak in some way. Will never buy another one. Enough said.

Brought several of your so-called hoses.each one lasted just a few uses.couldn’t return because of no receipts. Piece of garbage! will not buy again and wil not recommend to anyone unless a lot of lmprovement to the inner tube that keeps on bursting.

I love the pocket hose because of how light it is as I am senior citizen and always stumbling over those heavy rubber hoses. I have one in the front and one in the back. However, they only last one season and they blow out close to where they connect. I cannot afford to buy a new one every year. I have replaced 3 so far since they came out. I have one left now that I bought this year. I hope I can get more than one summer out of this one. They are the greatest invention but not if you have to buy a new one every year.

i don’t have tons of money to pay for cheap a$$ hoses, was impressed with how light and flexible the pocket hose was but went to use it again and the dam thing burst. Needless to say, my husband was furious! You need to really make these better so they last longer. Never buy another one again and we the people should get our money back!

I like new inventions. This is a pretty good one, but the problem is that everyone seems to want to use it like they would a conventional hose.

Things that the manufacturer needs to make clear:

1. This is not a hose to use with sprinklers. Sprinklers need high water pressure; this product needs very, very low pressure.
2. The hose needs to be spread out before turning on the water. It will get two to three times longer after the water is turned on.
3. Can’t leave the hose lying around the yard like you do conventional ones. It needs to be rolled up and put away, preferably in the shade.
4. (This should be number 1) as I mentioned before, this hose requires very, very LOW pressure. High pressure will make it burst. Very little one quarter turn will suffice. Try the lowest that you can. You can always turn it up a notch (a very little one) if it’s not sufficient. This actually saves water, as you can fill up a watering can once you have turned off the water and are waiting for the hose to contract.
5. Don’t yank it around like you do a conventional hose. A sure way to break it, especially if it is under pressure.
6. Take it in in the winter if you live in a below freezing area. You’re not going to be using it during those months anyway.
7. Buy it through Amazon.com. No hassle returns and/or replacements.

A hose is to be used as a hose. Using it with kid gloves is self-defeating to its purpose. We have had 2, both burst. Always stored with no water pressure, in the shade, neatly coiled. We are in a moderate climate. The product is inferior and should be removed from the market place.

A note about water pressure… It cannot be compressed! What do I mean…? You said… to use low water pressure when using the Pocket Hose. Well, unless you are using some high tech water supply system that limits static pressure to below say, 10-15 p.s.i. or you don’t use a nozzle at the end of the hose, your going to be between 40 to 80 p.s.i. Most homes whether they are supplied by private wells or public water companies have ratings of between 40 to 80 p.s.i. This is what the hose is rated for. That being being said, one would have to run the hose without a nozzle to maintain this so called low water pressure. Assuming one had a way to determine what that pressure is, as soon as you stop the flow at the hose outlet, the pressure would quickly build to the set line pressure. The product clearly states the safe operating hose pressure limit is between 40 and 80 p.s.i. My water pressure is a steady 40 p.s.i. It took only three months of use to develop three aneurysms… You may not work for The HOSER company, but your review does no justice to this grossly inferior and overpriced rip-off product…

Love the product but won’t ever buy another one again.
I am on the 6th one and it’s costing me a fortune. My mother loves her garden and the hose was nice and light for her but, the hoses just keep on bursting.You need to do something about them your robbing people blind.

I have bought 3 of the Pocket Hoses, 2 fifty and 1 seventy five footer. For about three uses they are the best hoses I’ve ever used. After that each one has started leaking and are useless. I think I have given this hose as many chances as I can and will now move on to something that works.

Like many, many others, I have also bought several (3) of these hoses only to have them burst open within a year. The concept is wonderful, but the inner tube needs to be perfected. The heat, UV rays, and water pressure take a toll on the tube over a short lenght of time. With my last hose I even took to disconnecting it and storing it in my garage hoping to extent its life. However, within 1 year it too burst. I’m done with these type of hoses and have bought a very nice light weight hose from HomeDepot and am very happy with it. Save your money on any future purchases of these “expandable” hoses. And, don’t be fooled by their guarentees. Their terms and conditions limit their liabilty and is only good for 30days. The hose will last for that minimum time but WILL eventually fail shortly.

My sister and I love these hoses. Granted, the original model was cheap and flimsy so we didn’t try them until the following year when they had improved the connectors. I did manage to get leaks in two of them because I pulled them too far. I’m more careful now and have just bought the new, improved 75′. These hoses are so lightweight and easy to deal with, we didn’t care if we had to replace them every year. Fortunately, this hasn’t been the case. With a little care they last from year to year. The pocket hose makes my life so much easier, I don’t dread hauling out the hoses now or put off watering.

This “Pocket Hose” is defective because it simply is too delicate and easily tears and bursts ! True, it is lightweight, kink-proof and goes virtually anywhere with ease. However, I have already gone through (3) this summer and keep returning the broken one for a new one. I paid the original price of $ 19.99 once in Home-Depot. At first, it was a dream come true ! Never kinks or twists, does not tangle or get caught on corners and curves….and I could bring it literally anywhere around the home….where before with an ordinary hose, I could never ! Washing the car, watering the flowerbeds and hosing the windows was now much easier ! I was a happy camper ! Then………BAM !!!!! A bubble appeared on the skin and soon it bursted and spews water all over….the dream hose quickly became a nightmare hose, and in less than a month ! This has happened to all (3) of them….and I still cannot figure out why ? It was not abused and always hung carefully on my hose-ring on the wall after each use. Why ? Because it is defective, that’s why ! The slightest abrasion from the sidewalk, a step, a shrub or tree trunk ….and it will fray the outer skin and cause it to burst ! No normal hose can be this delicate……my advice, return it to the store and get your money back until they come up with a stronger and more durable design….if ever ?

I have purchased a total of 4 pocket hoses. 3 of the original ones. The first one leaked really bad at the fitting so I returned it for another one. This one has worked good so far, but I only use it about once every couple of month to add extra water to a flower bed with a sprinkler system. I then purchased a second original one and the fourth time I used in the first month it blew apart in the middle. I decided not to purchase any more. I really like the ease of using this type of hose so when I saw the new pocket hose ultra I decided to try it again. This new one worked fine for about 2 months of using it about once a week. I was watering my flowers today, (nothing with thorns) and it started spraying from a hole in the middle of the hose. I have always drained the hoses and stored them in the shade. The ultra was always stored inside the garage. After spending over $100 on these hoses I am very disappointed with the product. Nice idea and ease of use but the quality and durability is terrible.

We bought several hoses and have returned them to the store. I have one that busted today. I can not return it.because I don’t have a receipt. The other I will return when it burst. The store I bought them from have had many of these hoses returned. They are not strong and sturdy enough to use like the regular hoses.

Don’t waste your money. In 2014 I bought five hoses, all 50ft. Two of them blew at the fitting part first day I bought them. A few lasted the rest of the summer. This July of 2014 took them out and realized that during the storage of these hoses, they like rotted and broke up as soon as I picked them up. I have seen advertisements where the fittings are made from steel, don’t know if these work better, but the fact that the hose itself rotted and broke apart, seems like both hoses are made from the same material between the ends. Will never buy another.

Bought 4- 50ft pocket hoses for our garden club to water the town area. It worked well for 2 wks after that I noticed areas in the hose itself developed leaks and water spraying out. The next time I used it all the hoses developed leaks along the hose it self. So as I am watering the flower garden everything else is getting wet. This product appears poorly made and would suggest no one buy this product.

Nice hose but should come with a warning to avoid rose bushes or any plant with thorns, 25` just touched my roses and punctured the hose, into the garbage. Tried again with 50` 3/4 bronze hose and same thing, was near the roses and same thing, another puncture so into the trash again…tried to save it with duct tape but pressure too great & leaks like a sieve.

I have just purchased my 7th Pocket Hose in the last two years. I have had five of them explode after a couple of weeks of using them on an almost daily basis. I don’t think this should be happening. I am careful not to drag them over sharp objects or catch them on fences, etc, but they just keep springing leaks that rival a volcano erupting. They give no warning, just boom! and there’s water shooting everywhere. Why do I keep buying these hoses? Simply because they are easy to handle and store. Notice they don’t come with any guarantee or warranty.

Don’t waste your money on this POS! It won’t extend unless it’s water pressured which makes it worthless for placing around yard, worse you have to turn it on at the spraying end which makes even less than worthless for lawn sprinkling. It leaks like a 3 inch sieve at the connection and you cannot stop it, bought it today will return it tomorrow, buy a good hose instead they cost the same, $30.00

I purchased 2 pocket hoses last year. When the first one busted I reported it to Pocket Hose and it was quickly replaced. They have now, however, all busted… I have now resorted back to my rubber hose, glad I did not throw them out

I think this is a good idea, unfortunately the product is not fully perfected. First I bought a 75′ which exploded in less than 30 days. Thinking I may have done something to cause that, I bought a 50′ ,,, which is less than 1 week old and has 3 pin hole leaks. product does not come with any guarantee, and I see why.. do not waste your money

I purchase three hoses. One lasted 2 weeks. The other 2 lasted about 8 weeks. I really liked how easy they were to use but the longevity is not there. It was a waste of money. They can not be repaired. The company should be ashamed of themselves for the poor quality of their merchandise.

Advice for buyers: I purchased 2x 50 ft. lengths from Bed Bath and Beyond. Each time a section breaks I take it back and they replace it. So far this has happened 4 times. I always have one section to use. They never last very long no matter how careful you are. The idea is great. The application is a long ways from perfected. I would pay twice the price for a good product. I hope they keep working on getting it right.

have purchased 3, 50 ft heavy duty hoses and all three of them bursted in the middle. they only lasted 2months. i would never buy this product again or would recommemd this to anyone . its a big waiste of money. paid good money for these hoses, its a big waiste

We have purchased three of the different sizes of Pocket Hose and all of them have leaked. We have put tape over the leak and the leaks just continue on down the hose. Was very very disappointed in a product that, by all standards on TV, was suppose to be a wonderful product. Guess it is time to go back to the old hoses that DON’T LEAK!!!!

Same problem bought 2 of the 50ft hoses and the end section ruptured at the middle unable to fix in any manner unlike conventional hoses. This only after one season of use. Do not think of buying this product again and do not recommend to anyone. This is an “expensive” cheap hose.

I suppose I am a gluten for punishment. The pocket hose is so convenient; however, it never lasts for more than 1 season of use. I have bought 3 and each time the hose bursts and has to be thrown away. I follow the directions on making sure the water had drained from the hose after use, but it still bursts. Don’t waste your money!!

GARBAGE,PAID $29.50 LASTED 3 DAYS. SEVEN HOLES IN IT TRIED TAPE FOR A DAY OR SO. GOING BACK TO THE OLD STUFF. GREAT IDEA AND I LOVED IT UNTIL THE SECOND OR THIRD DAY WHEN IT STARTED TO LEAK WITH HOLES. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOSE IF YOU HAVE A DRIVEWAY OR SIDEWALK IT WEARS OUT THE HOSE IN DAYS.

I purchased a pocket hose at Walgreen’s and had used about 3 times when I decided to use it again. You really should warn customers that the covering can split and the inside tube will make a hug bubble and pop – spraying the user thoroughly. I wont make that purchase again.

Got this as a Christmas gift last year. I loved it, until it split after about 6 uses. From reading all the complaints here, I won’t even try another one. Looks like you get what you pay for – cheap junk.

I bought the 25 ‘ pocket hose last year and the 2nd time I used it this year a bubble formed in it and it burst !!wish I knew where to contact them so I could send a photo of it , as I bought it in Walmart and don’t have the receipt.

I spent $50 on the 100′ Ultra Pocket Hose. The second time we used it a giant leak came in it. We traced the path where it was laying and there were no sharp objects, it was laying on a paved sidewalk, pine needle mulch and grass. The real kicker is my neighbor came out of his house as this was happening and said his did the same thing. Apparently there is no such thing as a refund.

9 of 10 of TV products never heard of refunds and NO I DL not want cruises, discount ” vacations” or any number of UNADVERTISED RIP- OFFS. The hose is junk. Bj
Buy a good hose, let the sun work on it and mine is 12 yrs old.

I love my Pocket Hose. It is the great and has made my life much easier. I love gardening but developed some muscular problems that made handling a heavy conventional hose almost impossible. I saw the Pocket Hose and thought what do I have to lose. I am so glad I did. I have not had any problems with the hose but I do follow the manufacturer’s directions for storing it. This is the second year I have used it. I bought a reserve Pocket Hose just in case but have had no need for it. Take a chance! You will love it.

Great idea but they just don’t perform. Like many others mine burst only after about 4 times being used. This product needs to be taken off the market before someone gets seriously hurt. My 75 ft. One burst as soon as I turned on the water not only did it scare the hell out of me but the dam thing flew up and almost caught my eye.

I purchase two (2) of these hoses, and used one 4 times. Each time I emptied it, hung it to dry before storing. However, on using it the 5th time it suddenly started to bulge near the connection to the faucet. By the time I got to it faucet to turn it off the hose burst soaking me down with water and everywhere. On examining it I found that the green fabric had failed causing the rubber hose to become like aneurysm and bursting withing seconds. As I pulled the green fabric on the burst end, it kept tearing and breaking off. This material is pathetic and should never have reached to market. I will never buy another one again, nor recommend to anyone – so potential buyers, beware.

I bought a 50ft hose from pch it burst after the 2nd use so I really like the concept I bought another from home depot it it did not burst but it started to with a bubble at the nozzle end so I wrapped it with gorilla tape to keep it from bursting I hope that you can get this problem fixed because I really love the concept

Not worth the time to look it up. Burst two of them within less than an hours use on both. Very low water pressure without sprayer nossle. these things need a lot of work before they will be useable. Please do not waste your money on them, use a bucket you will get more done.

Bought the and was excited it was so light. Turned on the faucet and boom, heard it explode. This piece of junk should be removed from shelves. Don’t buy one till the fix their design. A total waste of money from big lots store.

I bought a 75ft Ultra pocket hose at Bed Bath and Beyond and paid $29.00 for it. I used it for three weeks and it worked great then while washing down the driveway, it burst. I will take it back but of course I no longer have the receipt; so wish me luck.
After reading all these negative reviews I should have never purchased it. Why does the manufacture not fix this
problem??

Piece of junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone of you are thinking about buying one forget it they are not worth it. There needs to be a lawsuit against every company out there that even thinks about selling this junk. I have had two and took back two and now need to take these two back but do not have the receipt. So out of luck for me but I wanted to warn others.

I purchased two 50 ft hoses last year. One I used last year and it worked fine for a while and then it started leaking at the connector area. The other I just took out of the box this year and first time out, it starts spewing out of the base of the connector like a flood. I also have a 25 ft one and have had no problems with it at all, yet. Very ticked off. These things ain’t cheap.

The pocket hoses are a rip off. I have tried the original one that is green then the improved one that was blue and finally the New and improved black ones. They all ruptured in about a month after we started using them. The ones I shipped back for a replacement which never came. It cost a lot to ship them back so we gave up. Don’t be suckered in and DON’T PURCHASE THESE HOSES, THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT.

I purchased the Flexable Hose in Nov., 2014, when the weather got colder (around Dec/Jan) I brought the hose into the garage.
Yesterday, I hooked the hose up and it burst. I like the weight of the hose, I purchased at Walmart, but is should last longer than 3 months of use.
I don’t want my money back, I want a new Flexable Hose. How do I go about this?

I bought four of these lousy pocket hoses for each of my outdoor areas. All four of these stupid things spilt open within a month! This is the first and last time I will deal with anything advertised on TV again! Lesson learned: you get what you pay for-and it is usually crap! No wonder the instructions say “Keep dry and avoid contact with water”.

I have purchased three in the past two years. The first two were the original hoses. Both were defective. Leaked like a seve from the connector part. Then the new hose came out that was advertised as three times stronger. I purchased this new hose and used it three times. The first two times it worked great and the problem with the connector seemed to have been addressed. The third time I used the hose to wash down my driveway. Worked fine but when I turned off the water supply two pin holes appeared on the side of the hose shooting out water. What a waste of money. I contacted customer service for the company and got someone from India. When I told him about what had happened with me he said there are many satisfied customers. Great!

SAVE YOUR MONEY THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE TAKEN OF THE MARKET . DO YOU THINK THAT A PRODUCT THAT FITS IN YOUR POCKET WILL NOT GET A HOLE IN IT . IVE OWNED 3 OF THESE WORTH LESS PIECE OF SHIT SAVE YOUR MONEY

I love the light weight of the hose and how compact they are. Ho-ever I don’t think I will be buying another one. I the past 2 years a have purchased a least 5 or 6 and they just keep breaking. The last one I bought was supposed to be 3 times stronger. Same on me for not saving receipts but I don’t. I did returned 1 last year and I did get a replacement from Walmart but it too broke by the end of summer. At $20.00 dollars a shot I could have bought 2 or 3 stronger hoses.

I’ve purchased 2 of these 50 ft. Pocket Hose, one last Spring and the second this Spring. I have a flat cement patio that’s only a few years old and a soft side “Easy Set Pool” in the back yard. No sharp edges anywhere, but I guess even that was to rough because BOTH of the Pocket Hoses failed with multiple holes and we were luck no-one was injured! The concept is awesome, but the actual product sucks! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT- I feel its just a matter of time before we see this in the news regarding an injury and we can only hope and prey that its not a child that gets hurt.

I bought one of these hoses and I just loved it. I used it only on my patio to water shrubs and to replenish the bird bath. I kept it out of the sun and never turned the water pressure on high, but after one month a big white bubble came out of the side – right through the outer material – and burst. The material inside the hose looked like what a balloon is made out of. Very flimsy. This was the hose that was supposedly 3 times stronger than the original. I loved it while it lasted, but a month is not long enough for a hose to last. Will not buy another.

I have 3 of these hoses. All three burst after the 1st use. Blew water everywhere and really made a scary noise. Total ripoff. All the money down the hole and no garden hose. I had very little water pressure on them, and followed instructions to make sure they were open before turning on the water.

My son bought me one of the 3X stronger ones and it is still working. (At least for now!)

People should be given new 3X stronger hoses to replace the others. I would never buy another hose unless it has a full money back guarantee. Beware! Do not buy this hose!

I have purchased 3 of these 50 ft hoses already and each one of them blew out a hole in the hose. I am tired of replacing the hose which otherwise I really like. I am going to purchase a regular garden hose this time. Otherwise I’m just wasting my money and get frustrated. What’s guaranteed are the connections not the hose itself. Poor quality product.

Was washing my truck this morning, the hose was not kinked or anything, then out of the blue just bubbled up & exploded ! We had one spring a leak before (the green one) I think I’m done with these. As I’ve read in other complaints, we actually used the hose less than 10 times. They seem to only last so long, NOT VERY LONG AT ALL.

Bought one and loved it. It was perfect for the application I had. I kept it out of the sun and then coiled up under a patio cover when not in use. exactly 30 days after its purchase, it blew up on me. Thinking I had a faulty one, I purchased another one. As stated earlier, I loved it. 31 days later it blew up on me. My wife got one from one of our kids for her birthday. My guess is it should blow around August 15. DON’T BUY ANY OF THESE HOSES! I could not locate a warranty of any kind so that is a clue.

What a waste of money.I took the pockethose,50 ft length out of the package,screwed it onto my water faucet,tuned on the water and it blew a leak in the hose.Not very happy.Will never buy another again.

Total RIP-OFF….. Why because its made in China !! I was duped purchased 2… both hoses burst at the nozzle connection…. Please human population don’t purchase this hose , lets put them out of business !!!!

Just as everyone here stated… These hoses only last for a few uses. Too bad too. I really loved it for the short time it worked. Stupid me, I thought the first bursted hose was a fluke. Decided to try again. Bought 2 more, one for the front of my house, one for the back. They have all sprung leaks right through the fabric! And I had followed directions to a T never leaving water in the hose after use. Very disappointed!! None of them lasted more than a few weeks. I’m now out $60.

I read the reviews on this website after this purchase. While I have had these for only one day, I am not looking forward to what others have experienced. But it seems likely I have been duped like many others.

This is the worst hose ever produced. At first we were happy with the lightweight design. It was great for washing the car and watering the plants. Had it three months and started springing leaks. Not at the connectors, but in the hose. Now leaks like a soaker hose. It’s junk. Buy a soaker hose or spend the extra cash for something way better. Stay away from this hose. I can’t say it anymore plainly.

I got this hose a s a gift and went to use it and it leaked, badly! I called customer service and was told, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PROOF OF PURCHASE that’s too bad, deal with it, even though I had the UPC and photos. I guess that email is something new and they did not understand the power of the internet? I offered to email them pictures and they said no!!! The hose is okay but if you buy it, and have problems, hold on to all docs about where you bought it, when, the person who sold it to you and where you were and what you were doing when you bought it, you may have a shot?

Today was only my 2nd time using the pocket hose. I was washing windows with chemical cleaner and the hose burst, luckily it didn’t burst next to me. Would never buy one again. I purchased for $20 worse 20 spent.

Purchased a 25″ original pocket hose at Dollar General w/cash for a Christmas gift. We opened it late spring and used it less than 12 times. The fabric tore just below where the sprayer was attached and the hose went flying. Called customer service and without a receipt they will do NOTHING. Unfortunately, we also purchased 2 50′ Pocket Hose Ultras at Home Depot and got rid of all our older hoses. No wonder they made them stronger, the originals break very easily! The claim is also, however, that the connections NEVER leak on the Ultra….WRONG! They leak CONSTANTLY! (still have that receipt thank goodness!) These products are JUNK!!!!!

my wife got 2 50 foot hoses did not last 1 week my water pressure is 32 pounds junk junk junk
just as I always tell my kids if it got a lot of marketing it not worth any thing as you can see buy the reviews it is junk America will never learn

Bought the pocket hose, used it the first time and the nozzle fitting broke and then about 3 minutes, is flew off the fitting (on 7/ off switch). It is junk, so I took it back, got another one and it leaked after about 3 times of use. It’s a nice concept of being lightweight and retracts back. These do not work and are not a good buy for the consumer. I keep hoping for something better and stronger to come along. Read up on the other flex hoses and they are worse. Buyer beware !

Do not – DO NOT! – buy the pocket hose. As Seen On TV? Hey, Robert Karn, why don’t you show them leaking, bursting, and exploding on TV? One of mine did, after a week of use, and I’m not taking a chance on the other. I’m so disappointed in this product! I’m so happy Walmart has a good return policy!

Keep the receipt and packaging – Bought a Pocket Hose Ultra from a local hardware store June 4, 2014; Used it about 6 times or so until July 4, 2014, when the hose sprung a leak. Pocket Hose Ultra Customer Service phone # 1-855-235-2083 – after the voice mail run-around, press 0 to connect to a real person. They require a copy of the purchase receipt for refund or replacement. I do not want a replacement, as the item is a piece of junk and there is no guarantee another one will be any better. By the way, there is a class action suit in progress for Pocket Hoses purchased between Nov. 4, 2009 and Jan. 30, 2014: https://www.hosesettlement.com

Bought 2 50′ hoses. I just 2 short weeks I have returned 4 hose. Why does Home Depot sell Chinese junk. I hope I will eventually have two hose the will not leak. But, I doubt it. Oh well it ‘s off to the Home Depot in a few days for another replacement. Live and learn.

I purchased 2 pocket hose in March 2014. I paid the extra money for the ultra thinking this would ensure reliability. Imagine my surprise yesterday when one of them burst. I have been extra careful to empty them after each use. I have kept them covered from weather. Loved how light weight they were. Was a little concerned when I saw them came from China. Then trying to contact someone because of the guarantee, that is a joke. You cannot reach a person on the website or on the phone. BUYER BEWARE. I will not buy another of these.

I agree….Except I received 2 50ft hoses as a gift from my niece and low and behold after using them for 2 weeks I now have discovered 2 holes the second one this morning and it is definitely shot and unusable now!
I now see they are selling the Pocket Hose Ultra which is supposed to be 3X stronger?
Why would a company that knows the original pocket hoses do not last more then a couple of uses NOT allow their customers to return the original (green) hoses for the newer, more improved pocket hoses?
These hoses are NOT inexpensive, my niece paid $40 for two 50ft hoses!!
I really loved using the light weight hoses, it made it much easier to use on my flower beds.
But seriously, what are we all to do that do not have the receipt to return them? I know I cannot afford to go out and buy two more hoses to replace the two that I already have!??
COME ON BE FAIR TO THE CONSUMER!!

I bought three fifty foot pocket hoses last summer (2013) and they have been used no more then six times and been kept in my garage. One started leaking at the fitting and the other leaks at the shut off valve. I am totally disappointed with this product, I would buy the newer ones but I am afraid I would have the same problem, too bad, great idea, bad workmanship !

Pocket Hose -Made in China JUNK–Got one as a gift–leaked along the hose after a week. Bought #2 – leaks at faucet week 2, thought I had caused it……… Bought # 3 and has leaks all along the hose—. Great idea but these things do not last! No more!

I’ve experienced same problem with this product as others. Adapters developed small cracks and leaks. Hose elastomer/fabric was not meant to last. It burst within 3 months. Was unable to repair with available products from our local hardware store. Its sad that the public was taken advantage of with the marketing ploy. Then rest of the story should explain that this product is shoddy and will not last more than a few weeks. The actor promoting this product should consider distancing himself from this company ASAP if he has any sense of decentcy and morality.

We purchased one and it worked really great for a very short time. I really think that if they could do some more R&D it would be a great product. But if they are just in it to make some quick money then they have the perfect product. Don’t know where it is made but if it is a USA product then you are making us look BAD! Come on people you should be proud of what you are producing and make it right.

I had purchased two 50 foot of these. I have to say I liked the idea. Both of these leaked with in just a few weeks. Even a good product(these are not) has an occasional lemon, so this time I bought the 75 foot hose. From the first time I used it, it had so many leaks that the only way you could have used it would have been to drape it around your plants and use it for a soaker hose!

I just want you to know that I purchased 4 of these for my Husband for Father’s Day. He wanted this hose badly because of the large yard we have. Each and everyone of them exploded in the middle when he put them together. Not all at once, but one after another. He would take one off and sure enough another would explode right in the middle of watering the gardens. I could not return them, because I no longer had a receipt. So basically, I threw $80.00 in the toilet. It would be nice if the company that made them stood by there guarantee and replaced each one to all the consumers that wasted their money. But, as you can see, Can’t find the right website to email them and ask for replacements. Don’t buy this product unless you have money to throw away.

we purchased a 50 ft. hose. The second time I used it it burst. It scared the heck out of me when it happened. I purchased it three months ago so I cannot return it to home depot. I think the better business needs to be notified by all these people that were scammed. There are many. It is not right that this company is making millions of dollars on us and they are selling us a a product that does not work and nobody is doing anything about it, Great class action suit.

hi I just wanted to let you know the one I bought last summer late made it only until this spring.
I hook it up to us it and it leaks so bad from the tap end I can not use it. Its now junk. I did buy another one but I want you to know I am not happy.

Received a new pocket hose, light and flexible like advertised, but the second time I used it more water came out around the couplers than the end. One of the most worthless products I’ve gotten and what a waste of money. Every time I see the commercial I want to throw it at Carnes!

I bought 2 50 ft. hoses from Wal-Mart in April 2013. They were FANTASTIC to begin with. I kept them inside at all times for fear the neighbors would steal them (so they weren’t left out in the weather). In June 2013, I proceeded to clean out my rain gutters on my house. One of the connectors blew on one of the hoses then so I re-vamped it well enough to continue use. A month or so later, during normal use, that same hose sprung a leak. I continued to use it. By summers end, last year, the other hose had sprung a small leak. I stored the hoses inside for the winter. I got them out a couple of months ago to wash out my lawnmower after use and the last hose to spring a leak was worse. Yesterday, I went to wash out my lawnmower again, hooked up the hoses & turned the water on only to find the hose blown at the hydrant. It was a GREAT concept & I LOVE the idea but at 20 bucks a whack, I expect them to last a hell of alot longer than they did. I would say, back to the drawing board guys because this was an EPIC FAIL!

Bought 3 of these 1 50 ft and 2 25 ft. ALL burst just after 35 days and walmart let me return 1 but Kinneys wont after 30 days. I will tell everyone DON’T buy these because of this bursting problem. loved the ease of rolling back up but spending 50 dollars a year on a hose is ridiculous!!!!

We bought 2 last yr…50ft each, one started leaking at the nozzle and my husband without me knowing threw it away. Then we were left with the other 50ft and it burst. Should be able to get our 40.00 spent back. Bought another 75ft supposingly stronger and it burst just 2 weeks of having it. Returned it back to K-Mart and they said they have had a lot of these returned. It’s a frickin ballon.

I purchase a 75′ pocket hose 3 months ago and it started leaking so bad it was unusable even as a drip hose…. Worst scam I ever came across. The tool time actor should be ashamed to promote such a piece of Crap….

I bought 2 of the 50ft hoses and thought at first use they were just great. WRONG!!! After the second use one of the hoses burst, the second hose began leaking after the third time using it. Big waste of money…

I purchase 3 of these things so far and each one burst! Such a dissappointment!! It’s an awesome concept but please make it stronger!! I give up finally and will go back to the old pain in the ass rubber hoses!

I picked up the 50 ft pocket hose and in the first year it was leaking so bad we tried to tape it but it failed. The plastic connections are junk. We are both elderly and thought it would be easier to have but to now buy a new rubber hose that is made of metal and not leak. I am now telling everyone I know not to buy this product. I purchased the hose at Home Dept in Syracuse, NY.I agree with every comment above to say it is a worthless piece of junk.

These hoses are a waste of money. Bought 4 and 3 failed within the first week. The first 2 I returned and replaced also failed! Very disappointed. Want my money back. Still have receipt since it was only 2 weeks. DON’T BUY ONE!!!!

Anyone that buys the pocket hose is wasting their money. I wouldn’t give you 2 cents for one. I bought the original, the x hose pro , and the one they say is 3 times stronger. None of them lasted more than a week using it everyday. By far the most wasted money I have ever spent. I short Its sucks the big one.

I liked the idea. Bought two of them on line and they both split after about a month of use. I was still a fan so bought 2 more, but upgraded to two differnent brands at higher prices. Of the two new hoses, one failed at the first use, the connecter poped off! I replaced that with a hose advertised at 3x stronger, (which was one of the 2 replacedment hoses I bought). So now I have two hose of the 3x stronger variety. One of those has since poped a leak.

My total so far, 5 hoses, 4 failures. This is all within May to June. Using them once a day for light watering. It’s a good idea but the execution needs serious work

I wish I had read the reviews for the Pocket Hose before purchasing the joke. It really is a piece of junk. It worked as advertised for three different times then promptly ruptured. This hose is the 50 footer which I will be returning to K-Mart——hopefully for a refund.

I loved my Pocket Hose. I used it for about three months. I liked the lightness, and how it retracted. Mine may have lasted longer because it was stored in the shade. Yesterday it exploded. I almost hit the ground, thinking is was a gunshot. I don’t think I’ll replace it with another Pocket Hose if they aren’t going to honor their own warrantee.

What a great idea,but like most ideas,another failer. You as the company should honor anyone who bought this complete disaster hose & replace at no charge with something that will last more than 5yrs or money back. DO NOT BUY ANY HOSES FROM THIS SELLER ,THEY SHOULD BE OUT OF BUISNESS!!!!

Very disappointed in my 25 foot pocket hose. although mine lasted longer than the other 850 complaints above, mine too exploded from the bottom. i’ll never purchase another product from this company again.

I agree with the majority of complaints listed in this review. I have purchased two of these hoses and my contention is that it is a piece of junk. Not worth the price. Both of my hoses exploded due to a very small rose thorn. I think the company should honor all complaints and pay back to each customer the cost of these hoses. What a scam!!!

I thought this would be the best for me being so light weight…well that is the ONLY thing good about it…it did work for the most part other than leaking, the 1st 3 months, but when I stored it for the winter and took it back out, the 1st hook up it exploded and soaked me from head to toe and then wouldn’t even expand enough to use until I could get another hose! WHAT A WASTE AND YOU 100% GUARANTEE IS FALSE!!!!!

I have been so disappointed with these stupid water hoses!!! I was not wise in buying 2 from the beginning before checking out the first one. One of the hoses burst the first time I used it, showering me with water from head to foot before I could make it to the spigot to cut it off. I thought I would try the second one and then discovered it burst on the second use of it. Well I thought they had improved them when the dark green one 3X stronger came out so I was unwise in buying it! It lasted through 3 times of use and would you believe it burst also. Now I have spent 19.95 each for these unbelievable pieces of junk for a total of over $60.00 and didn’t save my receipts!! I want this company to refund my money!! They all are in my garage and I am very angry that the company involved is ignoring this junk they keep selling!!!

I too, bought two of these hoses, spending $40. One for the front yard, the other for the back yard. I had both for about 4 months (Voiding the 100% unconditional guarantee) and on the third use, the front yard hose burst right at the end where the nozzle was. I was showered with water from head to toe. (Sound familiar?) I went to the back yard to get the other on and as soon as I turned the water on, it started blowing a huge balloon next to the faucet. Again, I didn’t manage to get it turned off until I got showered.

The inner liner is nothing more than one of those skinny clown balloons that they can twist into amusing shapes for the kids. What a piece of junk!

I actually talked husband into buying one of those pocket hoses. We used it a couple of times and last time it just popped like a balloon. Completely disappointed in this produce would never purchase another one or recommend to anyone to buy one. Waste of money.

Garbage. The “100% Satisfaction Guarantee” is a joke. I tried for about 30 minutes to contact ANYONE to get a replacement to no avail. They conveniently don’t appear to have an option for “this product is crap!” As so many others have noted in various comment sections throughout the web, my Pocket Hose separated at the end where I had attached a spray nozzle. They are correct that it doesn’t kink and it does shrink back to a more manageable size, however, the product reduces itself to landfill after about 2 minutes of use. I’m very disappointed this turned out to be a rip off. I really wanted this product to work as advertised.

I pushased four 50 foot hoses though the mail last april 2012 not one off them are any good. Each one of them bursted at the nossel end. I really got riped off. They wouid not replace them, and were very nasty over the phone.

I bought a pocket hose at Walmart. It had a falty connection that leaked, so I took it back to walmart & got a 2nd one. The 3rd time I used it, it blew a hole. I took it back to walmart & got a 3rd one. The 2nd time I used it, it blew a big hole. I gave up & took it back to walmart to get my money back. I was very careful with all 3 hoses. They just must be made of very poor quality materials. The very few times I got to use one of my 3 pocket hoses, I liked it.

I bought 2 50 foot hoses at Walgreens in the middle of summer last year. The first one burst just weeks after I bought it. The second one burst just this week. They are a piece of JUNK and I wasted $40.00 on them. I have not found a phone number to talk to rep yet to complain.

Bought the fifty foot and did not work out of the plastic canister. Big pressure and then the hose limps up again and trickles. Like a man with a prostate problem. Big sense to urinate and then just a trickle. Thankfully I bought it at Walmart and they will return the purchase. Maybe Telebrands needs to come out with Viagra for the pocket hose! I am laughing so hard at the idea and ramifications of that one, but would make a good scam for us sucker hose purchasers!

Hi Mike I’m Andrew S. Meyers, I purchased 3 of these hoses, at Wal=Mart and 2 of them burst, I threw them away so I wasn’t able to get a refund, I also bought (1) from Taylor Gifts guess what it did Burst no refund here either. I had a problem with Xhose, I received a new one no questions asked, the new one has worked find but I will say that out of (4) Pocket hoses I still have (1). Plus I bought (1) new Xhose their new one have not used it yet bought this one from ACE Hardware, I do not by anything more from Pocket Hose or Taylor Gifts. I will buy from Xhose. Oh! all 50′. coastie9608@att.net6-18-14.

We have had two of the 25ft. pocket hose, one tore loose at the connector and was returned for another one. This one has once again, raveled and came apart at the faucet. We have not been able to return this one. The hose is great except for this problem in both hose. At the time we purchased two of the for both of our outside faucets. How can we get something to replace this one.

Bought two of the 100 ft pocket hoses which have been replaced seven times by Telebrands. All have failed within a few days to a few weeks. I sent two of the failed hosed back to Telebrands with the understanding that I would receive the full amount of the cost of the hoses plus the cost of sending back the failed hoses. Well, I am still waiting for the refund. I call once a week and get the same story and that I will receive the funds back in 3-5 business days. Still waiting after several months. Bottom line the product is junk, good idea but defective product and design. The folks at Telebrands are not to be trusted, they are not honest and must have stolen millions with this scam. There is a Class Action Suite that one can apply to recover a bit of the cost by logging onto http://www.hosesettlement.com or calling 866-466-4667

I got a few of them, and after about a week they all busted, what a piece of junk, then I tried the new improved one that is 3x stronger. Lasted 2 days. Don’t waste your $ and there is no way to fix it.

I have already gone through 4 pocket hoses. They all broke along the seams. The last one broke along the seams only after about 1 week of use. tried to glue it and today it finally gave way DON’T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS JUNK OF A HOSE!!! Just go to lowes or home depot and get a real one..

This product is total and utter garbage. Might last a month, a week or a day. Some one should be held responsible for the”ads” that promote this product. It should be removed from any store that sells it. Scam – Scam – Scam.

I have purchased three of the ultra strong pocket hoses in the last two months and two
of them have ruptured I the middle of the hose and sprayed water all over. The third one I have only used here times and so far so good. I have heard they have a money back guarantee, but no instructions on how to file one.

After the first hose I bought leaked badly from the faucet connection, I was stupid enough to buy another one thinking the first one was a fluke. Hah! The second one did the same thing. This product was a good idea that did NOT work! What a waste of money! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Purchased (2) of these worthless pocket hoses which are nothing but junk, junk, junk, & put in the trash soon after receiving. One hose in original packaging & the other tried once, leaking connector which sprayed me but good. They’re both in garbage heaven or was that hell. Never again will I buy anything as advertised on TV.

I too bought a pocket hose approximately one and one half years ago and did not use it right away I then gave one to my granddaughter. I then tried using it and I was up on a 6 ft ladder hosing off my roof when the end completely blew off in my face, luckily it did not hit my face. They now have seen me a package as a class action suit has been started. They expect you to fill out this form with your Social on it (no way). then they are only giving you $6.00 you bet if it had struck my face and knocked me off of the ladder they would not just be having a class action suit but a regular suit instead. Did I mention I am 72 years old. My bones would not have survived.

I purchased two Pocket Hoses, one the Ultra, and think this is a wonderful idea. Usage and storage is very easy. The outer material however needs to be greatly improved, both outer material of the hoses split within a two week period and will not be replacing them with new Pocket hoses.

Purchased two 25 footers midsummer 2013, was very pleased with them, weight and maneuverability.
Was careful with storage due the fabric covering, put them away drained, dry and loosely bundled on a flat surface. Planted some bulbs today and went to water them, the hose attached to the faucet, the fabric covering split and the inside over expanded and would have popped if I didn’t catch it. So I took the two hoses apart and connect the other to the faucet and began watering, about 5 minutes later the dam thing exploded in my face (funny… but not really).
Going back to Kmart, soaking wet to return them! wish me luck

I ordered the pocket hose last year as a gift….that didnt happen as the person got one as another gift… the two hoses sat in the original packages for about 9 months. I decided to use one of them last week and as soon as i connected it the thing started to leak from the fitting…i then connected the other one and within one minute of being water inflated it blew up…..
contacting the company is impossible as they just don want to talk to anyone except to take orders for their unadulterated SHIT.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO GET SCREWED…THEY ARE CROOKS….AND BASTARDS TO DEAL WITH!!!

I bought one of these in late winter and didn’t use it until spring. After only a week of intermittent use, the side busted out on the first 50 ft hose. I had another hose and the same thing happened. Up until the hoses failed miserably, I had been happy with the weight and the self recoiled feature of the hoses. The plastic nozzles were not durable as well. I wasted a lot of money and at the time the hoses had a 90 day warranty. By the time I needed to use the hoses, they were out of warranty so I essentially wasted the cost of the hoses, taxes, and shipping and handling, which by the way is not insignificant. Would not buy another hose unless I purchase a similar product locally from a store who will stand behind the product. this was an unmitigated waste. I called customer service and the lady there reiterated the 90 day warranty. When I pressed her she said I could return the hose at my own expense, and exchange one of them. How helpful. I decided that to pack up and mail back was not worth it since they’d only replace one. Didn’t really want a replacement hose since the quality in my mind was bad. I would not buy from from the TV or online again.

Pocket Hose is a rip off. Its a good idea,the hose expands and goes back like they say…But, the cheap, plastic connections leak, even when tight, and the shut off level sprouts water continuously. Good idea, but, bad manufacturing.

I bought three of the pocket hose’s and all three of them leak , I didn’t know I was getting a sprinkler type garden hose , I want my money back or a pocket hose that doesn’t act like a lawn sprinkler .

WORTHLESS. My wife bought 3 against my better judgement. Exchanged 2. Finally just pitched all of them. The sun breaks down the outer covering. They will split in about 3 weeks if left out. Then the inner tube bursts. Two of the hoses shut-off valves broke first time used. Joints always leaked. Buy a real hose and spare yourself. These are a waste no matter who makes them. By the way, you are always feeling them trying to coil back up if you have a full stream. Annoying!!!

I too, bought the pocket hose. It worked for a while and I thought that it was wonderful. So much for that thought, mind to also burst. I have kept it in case there is some sort of company exchange to improve their customer loyalty. They should offer to recall All defective hoses to be sent back to them for an exchange of the new and improved version. Why would anyone trust buying from them otherwise. I bought mine through Walmart. I just recently saw that they were selling the improved model on HSN. However, I restrained myself from purchasing it again, because I do not trust their quality or reliably on the pocket hose.

As, a consumer the company should do something to gain their consumers back. Especially at $20.00 or more depending on tax or shipping. It really is a case of Buyer Beware.

I purchased 2 50′ and 2 100′ hoses. Was happy to have them arrive. Immediately gave one hose to my neighbor. In 3 months of 4 to 6 per month the 100′ broke. When screwed in it just leaks at the faucet. My Gardner told me when he was watering. So I went to the box and pulled out the 50′ and it was broken out of the box. The second one broke in the middle of using it in the first usage. I may be still dumb, but I am giving this company another try because the concept is excellent. the quality is very poor. I have ordered the Pocket Hose and the X-Hose. I will try both to see which is better. At this point, I have spend close to $300 on the last order and these 2 orders. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

The pocket hose is not worth a crap. I don’t see how people can sale this junk and lie about it I am sure they made their millions on it off of hard working people and I will never order anything else from anyone this is not the first time I have been ripped off but I hope that I have learned by now. Not much out there anymore that is worth buying. All this new an improved crap is just that crap.

Yes, I purchased 3 pocket hoses, at arrival one leaked at the value, weeks later one busted and months later the last one exploded. Enjoyed while they lasted which was not long. Great idea for a hose if they could greatly improve the quality. As it stands right now, it’s a rip-off.

I have bought 3 pocket hoses from wallmart and wallgreens each have exploded or poped a leak at the valve which cannot be fixed-I love this idea but what a scam-and when you try to call customer service could not get through. I will be telling everyone not to buy.

I saw these things around and thought it was a great idea. Got one and the middle burst after the first use. I thought it was a fluke, but after reading this sites reviews I know better. Thank you for saving me from further bad purchases. P.S. If this were made in America it would be an awesome product. Save the economy, don’t buy made in China.

My experiences w/ the Pocket Hose are exactly the same. I purchased the first hose and about a month later, a rip broke out while I was watering. Because I didn’t keep the receipt, I bought another one because it was a great product (light weight & extremely portable which encouraged me to work on my front and back lawns) and I thought it was just a fluke that it tore at the seams. However, I kept the receipt and box on my second purchase of the hose. Well, it was a repeat performance, the second hose ripped/burst at the seams within two weeks. But I got my money back this time.

i brought this thing on line, it did nothing but leak and stay long. tried to contacy maker and found a complaint page, they wanted $25.00 to send a complaint, and people say it’s a great product. a great product is one the does what they say it would. a rip off is pocket hose. would cost more to return then i have in it.

What a piece of garbage. I’ve been thru 6 hoses and now the last 2 are going back to K Mart. Not their fault , they don’t make them. The company that owns these hoses should be sued in a class action suit . If it were you or I we would be in jail for fraud and misrepresentation of the produce. Pocket Hose should mean $$ out of your pocket for nothing. I’ll paid double for American made and not this China garbage. Shame on the company for not researching the quality of their product.

whatever you do don’t water your pets using this house! I purchased two of these houses and they killed all of my back yard plants! I know that they killed my plants because I brought some inside before I watered and water to using my sink, they are beautiful and thriving. The ones I watered outside using the Flex pocket hose are dead! it says inside packaging do not drink from this hose. of course I didn’t keep my receipt so I am out over $45 from Walgreens. I am not so concerned about that as I am getting the knowledge out to people not to water the animals using this hose or let their children drink from these hoses!!! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD, DO NOT WATER YOUR ANIMALS WITH THESE HOSES!!!!!

We bought one of these “pocket hoses” at walmart for their advertised price of $19.99. Each one of these has exploded and/or sprung so many leaks spraying out everywhere that we could have used it for a sprinkler. We have followed the manufacturer instructions and suggestions. We never leave it in the yard, we always empty the water out of it totally, keeping it disconnected from the faucet when it is not in use and we store it in a plastic bucket out of the heat and sun.

Within 10 weeks, we have had to return and replace this hose 3 times! I want my money back !!! You know what, you can’t get your money back, all you can get is a store credit or a replacement! I have never been so absolutely disgusted with a product in all my life. This company should have a class action suit for false advertising and fraud!

I only write Sincerely, due to the fact that I sincerely hope this company pulls this product off the shelf totally and that somehow they are ordered to pay out to the “victims” the money owed back to them! UGH UGH UGH

Just got off the phone with Telebrands, the so called marketer of the Pocket hose. I was a buyer for 12 years and in sales for 30 years and I have never been so dissatisfied with a customer service dept than I was with this so called company. As with ALL the other complaints, received as a gift, the material was defective, right in the middle the hose grew a bulge then burst, then when you call them you have to have a receipt to return. What are the chances that the gift giver is going to keep the receipt and furthermore how embarrassing to ask for the receipt. I guess the original container with a UPC code on it is not proof enough that this product was purchased. In my spare time I manufactured a round plastic container and created the green insert. I never buy “as seen on tv” but since it was a gift we gave it a shot. But I can tell you this DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM TELEBRANDS. Since I’m retired I have some time to check into Legal issues on the way this company operates.

I received the pocket hose as a gift from my son. I really loved it at first and was impressed so much that I recommended it to several friends. After a month of use it blew out a the connection to the spigot. I repaired that and only used it twice before the middle blew no exploded. I am very disappointed. Times are hard and $20 for something that doesn’t last 2 months is a waste that I cannot afford. Shame on you people for making such an inferior product. I wish I had a replacement or my money back. How ironic the return policy runs out with in days of the hose blowing up!!!

Don”t waste your money on the *pocket hose* it is nothing but junk, I say junk…china makes junk. It leaks at both connections. If you want to throw your money away then go for it, I’ve learned to not buy “anything” that’s made in China. Not so long ago china was painting our children toys with lead paint, then put harmful ingredients in dog food that killed many dogs, this really makes me wonder what is in the pocket hose that may harm us… I certainly am very specious of what china makes…even more so now!!!!

Good idea, bad material….they should have tested this before it went out to consumers and with all the complaints you think they would do something and they keep selling them…buyer beware. I purchased 2 of these the first lasted 1 week and of course do we save receipts, nope. Purchased a second, that last 4 weeks and then the middle blew up like a balloon and popped. Of course you can’t call the company and complain, no number. Maybe if it was made in the USA it would have lasted a lot longer. Don’t waste your money.

I too bought one! It took me awhile since nothing is as it seems! First use I thought ” what a great product” After five uses It burst! I did not keep the receipt so I’m just out the price. Would have been a great idea just poor material. Will never buy as seen on TV items again!

I bought this Pocket hose at the Family Dollar Store where they have a “as seen on tv” display. The hose lasted for 6 weekly car washes, and then the connection between the hose fabric and the nozzle plastic spring a large leak. I would not recommend this product.

I had two of these burst after a few weeks but my mom has had hers since June and it still works perfectly. I recommended not using the connectors that come with it. I have no idea what they are for as they fit fine to my spigot and nozzle without them. The thing doesn’t leak at all if you throw those extra pieces away immediately. They do, however need to find a tougher fabric for the outside, it snags very easily and once you get a hole in the fabric-it will burst and there’s nothing you can do to fix it- not even duct tape!

I love the pocket hose because it does not get knotted-EVER, when it’s emptied it rests in a very small pile wherever you choose to leave it and the instant you turn the water on it grows to its full size. I don’t know if I’ve simply purchased a couple of “defective” hoses but I’ve had two burst on me. A hole develops in the fabric and when filled the liner full of water bulges through the hole and bursts. I think the outer fabric needs to be tougher so holes don’t develop as easily. The problem could be that it gets dragged across the patio which is made of a rough textured cement. I’m going to hate switching back to a regular hose next spring but at $20 a pop I can afford to keep replacing it every 3 or 4 weeks.

My gift blew up in center of the hose too. I am seeing these hoses in our trash bins at our local dump. Obviously, not tested before going to market. Great concept but very poor materials. Would not recommend or waste $20.00 again. Very much misrepresented product. It appears there is no quality control on Chinese made products and I find plastics are showing up without the PET seal of safety as well. Very sad indeed, this country is accepting such shoddy products and no jobs for quality manufacturing in the country that once was. Landfills full of toxic products going into the water table as well with all these throw away products.

Same story as other suckers. Two Pocket Hoses. Two weeks use. Both spew water from large center hose leaks. No means of repair Great idea. Very poor, useless and relatively expensive product pushed by scam level advertisement. I blame myself for believing in such a scam produced by national level TV who took in advertising money with no testing of the product. Those advertising such a useless product should be responsible for the warranty.

These hoses SUCK!!!! I went through 4 of them in 3.5 months, luckily I kept my receipts. My Home Depot and Walmart stores stopped stocking them, now they give store credits. Save your money and buy conventional hoses.

Bought 3 hoses – 2 50ft and 1 25ft. They all blew out at the connection of the water source. Please fix this problem. Would be happy to buy new ones if they can be trusted. Now what do I do with the ones that are broke? Walmart will not take them back without a receipt. The idea is great!

It’s a wonderful product if used properly. Have a sufficient number of people available to keep the hose from touching the ground when using. Otherwise the outer surface is easily frayed and will spring leaks.

Recently, I purchased the 50′ Pocket Hose and was really excited about its performance and ease of use. It worked quite well for the first ten uses, however, that, unfortunately, is all I got. The hose sprung a leak just about in the center and that was the end of that. Since there’s no way of repairing it, I threw it in the trash. It was an expensive lesson since I got so few uses. The concept is good but the material leaves something to be desired.

I believe these are very bad hoses I have bought 2 of them they are very new and leak very badly they are not what they say they are. I bought these at Walmart No I didn’t keep my receipt which I should of because I liked the way they stretched they should be banned and government they should shut them down. If you leave the water running for just a short time not using it they will blow up at the connection of water source. You had a good idea but you must engineer them better. I didn’t like hauling the regular 100′ hose around trying to reel it back in. Andrew

This is me again coastie9608@att.net Andrew I bought a Xhose which I bought from Taylor Gifts, it was the Blue one, it was my first hose I bought before buying the pocket hoses, I threw it away after 3wks. and notified Taylor gifts have not heard from them. I usually buy a lot of items from them the cost was $49.95 plus s&h 75′. The idea is good but needs more engineering done with it, that is why the founder of XHose has brass fittings on his new hose, haven’t tried yet at $29.95 plus s&h but that is for 25′ I need 75′ that is too much money, The Idea is their but too many flaws. Do not know the MFG or founder yet on either the Pocket or XHose, haven’t tried the Dark Green, Yellow, Orange hose yet do not look ,like I will. Andrew

That’s it exactly! If they would improve the durability of the outer fabric this Pocket hose would be genius! and stop including connectors, they’re unnecessary and they diminish the hose’s function. With connectors hose leaks from both ends, without connectors no leak whatsoever.

I threw one of my old fashioned hoses away and thankfully kept the other one. Both my pocket hoses are busted and, of course, I have no receipt. They were given to me as a gift. Good concept, bad product.

I thought the 4th time would be a charm. All 4 have blown a hole in the hose. I purchased them at Wal-Mart. They have exchanged them. Today I will take back the 4th and ask for a store credit. Learned after the 1st one to keep my receipt.

Wow, wish I would have read all these reviews first. Piece of CRAP! used it maybe 6 or 7 times, then a big bubble appeared and exploded, there’s a 8″ gap in the hose right in the middle. Shit like this should not be allowed to be sold. It has a 10 year warranty? Try their website and find how to collect on that! Richard Karn should be embarrassed to be a part of this product.

I HAVE BOUGHT 4 OF THESE, & 2 BLEW OUT THE SIDES, THE OTHER TWO , JUST FINE. (MAY OF BEEN A DEFECT IN THE BATCH)I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SEND ME 2 MORE FREE OF CHARGE OF COURSE, I BOUGHT THE AT BED & BATH & HOME DEPOT.

I had a pocket hose for 2 weeks. I used it to water plants on my patio. I turned off the supply faucet after every use, did not step on the hose, etc. two days ago I was watering my potted plants, KABLOOWY now I have two short useless hoses. I wasted my money. JUNK! I bought it at CVS.

I thought this would be the best hose I had ever used. As an elderly person it offered everything I would need to water plants on my patio & porch. I kept it out of the sun and took very good care of it. I am so disappointed in this product.

JUNK JUNK JUNK !!!

I purchased mine at Bed Bath & Beyond and have never bought an item there that was such a horrible scam. One lasted a couple months and the other is going back to store tomorrow. I had told everybody how great it was the first time I used it and now feel I have been totally ripped off.

wish I had read these reviews before I purchased 2 of them. used no more than 3 or 4 times and turned on today to get water. leaking profusely at both black connectors on both hoses. were kept under my deck up off the ground in a clean, dry place. not sure what happened, except they were just made cheap. really disappointed. maybe someone will actually make one that was meant to be used….

I bought 6 of the “As Seen On TV” green pocket hoses from Bed, Bath, & Beyond because I’m almost 69 y/o and thought they would be great instead of hauling around the usual heavy garden hoses. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of donating all my regular hoses and reels to the Salvation Army. One of the hoses exploded within a few weeks. The others still work but the black plastic connectors leak terribly, especially the little valve that controls the water flow! When I water the 3 window boxes along my back patio, I’m wet, my clothes get wet, and the patio is wet! What a waste of money!

I purchased 2 of the 50′ pocket hoses at the start of gardening season. I loved them because they were light and easy to handle. I used them to water my flowers in my front yard, so they were not stretched at all, there was plenty of hose to reach all my beds. Tonight I went to water the flowers so I got the hose out of the milk crate I store it in, turned the water on, and proceeded to go to my flower bed. I got halfway to the flower bed and the hose bursts up by the connector to the sprayer. Made me really mad plus got me all wet. I am really disappointed in these. Save your money.

Horrible product…it leaks..the turn on off piece broke and then hose exploded…taking back to store for refund…$20 wasted…the manufacture and designer should be ashamed of scamming the public beautifully…

I have a pocket hose that I am very satisfied with. The problem is, even though it is 50 ft. after expansion it is still not long enough to go from my faucet to the front of my house. I have just purchased another one, but nowhere does it tell me that the hoses can be connected. I would like to know this before I take it out of the package so I can return the second one it they do not connect.

I keep reading reviews and I don’t understand how someone could purposely scam the public in this manner. But then I remembered Bernie Madoff and how devoid of a conscience he is and it’s easier to understand. Don’t test it for 6 months….we have too much money invested…..get it out to the public and let them worry about it. Modern day snake oil salesmen.

Bought a 25′ hose at Walgreens. Seemed to work well….light, much easier to move than old fashion hose. So good I order 2-100′ online. Wish I had waited. The first hose burst before the others got here. One of those burst and the other on is leaking and could go any time. It’s a great idea..just not well thought out or constructed. I’m 78 yo and hauling around the old hoses was tiresome and wheeling them in was harder yet. So I was very pleased
……..until they started blowing up. Thankfully I didn’t toss the old ones. I’ll use the last pocket hose until it blows a hole because as I said…..it’s a great idea. Just cheaply made…SHAME ON YOU.

I have bought three of these hose’s and thought they were great until one of them exploded and the other two ripped off at the faucet. I feel like I have been ripped of and think there should be some kind of reimbursement for at least one. All my friends have had thee same problem and are very dissatisfied as am I.

Bought two 50′ pocket hoses this summer, one blew last week, the other one a few minutes ago, bought 2 for my mom, hers had popped too. I really liked them too, but will not buy anymore now until they perfect it better.

Both of these hoses have exploded and the 3rd one broke when I dropped the hose and the connector broke. These are cheap and I wonder why this company has not been looked into for advertising a terribly inferior product. Shame of them!!! JUNK, Junk, Junk

I sure wish I had waited and read some reviews before I wasted my over $60 on 3 of them . Leaky, leaky, leaky at both ends and throughout the body of the hose. I am sure glad that I didn’t throw out my old heavy, dependable hoses. What a wast of money and a complete rip off.

I agree. I have 2 and both leak or blew out.. The leaking fittings can be correct by attaching a good brass end of another hose to it and tightening with pliers. this re-threads the plastic ends. I love the way it handles but a couple of weeks use for ANY price is ridiculous.

I purchased and received two 50ft sections of Pocket Hose in May 2013. In early August, after less than a dozen uses, one of the two sections broke the outer cover and the inner plastic section burst. I called the customer service number provided and after one garbled phone contact did finally talk to customer representative, Zach Carter. He was very polite, took my information, told me the hose would be replaced, and gave me a confirmation replacement number. ( I did have doubts ) I have now received in less than three weeks a 50ft replacement hose with no additional charges. I am very pleased with the 100% guarantee and now hope the original defect was a rarity as I am well pleased with the concept and working of the Pocket Hose.

Bought 1-25 ft hose and 2-50 ft pocket hoses in June from local hardware store. The 50 ft hoses leaked at the connectors within the first two uses and the 25 ft hose popped after 2 months. Seems like a good product idea but poor construction and no refund on the product.

I bought a 25′ hose very light very nice so I bought a 2nd 25′ hose. My sister-in-law bought me a 25′ hose for my birthday (didn’t know I had one). With these lightweight hoses I could drag around my yard ease. So I gave away my old bulky hose (That was in almost new condition I had purchased them last year). On Monday (8-26-13) my wife went to water plants she had in pots on the front porch, and pow the hose busted below the connection. Today (8-29-13) I started to water my garden and pow another hose exploded below the connector. I forgot about the shutoff on the third hose that had a pin size hole in it that squirted water everywhere. I guess what I’m trying to say is this product IS A PIECE OF JUNK. I would advise everyone to not purchase this product. I would have been better off if I threw my money out the window. Now I have to go buy 75′ of bulky hose.

the pocket hose ===sucks I went through {4} already cause they get holes in the hose and the plastic connectors they crack ==I would never buy another one And I want a discount ===SO PEOPLE DON’T BUY, it is a rip OFF!!

I bought 2 hoses for my yard and loved that they were light weight and easy to hide. But after about 2 weeks the part that you open to let the water through busted off and flew to who knows where and the other hose doesn’t work now. The water doesn’t flow through the hose. it goes all around the outside of it. So I have wasted 40 bucks on these hoses. I love the idea and very disappointed in how they turned out. I wish they were made better. I hate big ugly hoses and hose reels and I really thought this was the answer.

What a worthless piece of junk. I’ve returned three hoses already….They keep sending me replacements and twice the replacements have either sprung a leak or the cheap plastic connectors break. This product needs to be banned, now!!

My wife purchased two 50′ pocket hose for me as a gift for Father’s Day. I used it once, drained and put away. The second time I used the hoses, they exploded. The outer cover has frayed and the inner hose is quite thin. Lesson learned and $40.00 wasted. As Seen On TV products with their slick advertising are made to sell, not to use nor last. Save your money. Buy a good quality product made in America and it will usually last much longer. I will never purchase another “As Seen On TV” Product.

I bought two 50′ hoses…..to use in my work as an air conditioner service technician. I knew to be gentle with them…..and so after each use…..I carefully drained them to their smaller size….and then gently fed them down into a footlocker that I had meticulously lined with 1″ thick foam rubber, and a layer of velvet cloth on top of that [separate foot lockers for each hose]. I then also devised a system in my work van so each locker would securely hang by four strong-but-elastic rubber straps….I didn’t want road vibrations damaging them! LMAO!! Just kidding…..I knew to be gentle with them, but I knew I was taking a chance in buying them because leaks cannot be repaired like can easily be done with normal hoses. Third use with each hose, and the both burst. I’ve just read here about the x hose….its either that or back to the same ole same ole.

I was so excited to have a hose that I could handle. I used it four or five times and it burst. I had purchased it at Walmart so I asked a lady there if she was aware of any complaints. Her response was that she had also purchased the same product with the same unfavorable result. She then purchased the X Hose on the Internet because of the warranty. That is what I am planning to do. Very Disappointed!

Unfortunately, I got the “pocket hose” confused with the “xhose”. My friend recommended the xhose to me, but I got confused and bought this cheap*** burst after two uses hose. Fighting with Bed Bath and Beyond to get my money back! Shocking that this hose hasn’t been taken off the market and the manufactures sued. Ok maybe suing is a bit extreme, but if you could have seen my 80 yr old mother soaked to the bone after the hose burst, Literally, in her face because she was looking at the bubble that was growing. And you were laughing so hard, that she took you out of her will, you would understand. Anyway don’t buy the pocket hose!!!

I purchase this hose because I seen it on tv think it a good deal at walmart I wish I would’ve seen these reviews I wouldn’t have purchase this I use it one time and it work for a few hour I went in the house came back out later it had a hole in it and not pushing out water I call the company they told me to take it back to the store and rush me off the phone I just have to take it as a lost 50 foot hose for $19.95 it was just too good to be true. I can’t take it back after a month in a 1/2.

Great hose….bad quality! I purchased 2 hoses and the first hose lasted through 1 summer then split. The 2nd hose lasted 2 months then split. I thought it was just my hoses but after reading all theses reviews it is the product. So glad I didn’t go and buy more but will miss my hose!

I brought two hoses and after a week one of them broke, burst right in the middle return product from where I purchased from got another and that one burst right at the end of the connector this product stinks cannot get money back so I will keep bringing them back and getting another one and spending money on gas thank you Mr flex hose for your product it stinks.

Don’t waste your money. Within one month of buying this product it developed a hole in the fabric. I taped that hole up and two weeks later it got another hole. Fabric is not strong enough. Also the on/off valve leaked from the beginning. Would not recommend to anyone.

I bought several pocket hoses for our daughter and ourselves last Christmas season. We thought it was a great idea. We started using them in June and already they are all broken at the connection. I told all my friends how great it was. Now I have to tell them this product is junk! I ordered from a TV add. Rip off!

I agree that it is a great concept but the material needs to be heavier or something. Our hose started leaking after only using it a couple times and then ripped right below where the hose connects with the nozzle. We won’t buy another one:(

The pocket hose is the worst buying experience I have ever had. They sent us the wrong product. When we returned the item they would not reimburse us for shipping. When you call no one can resolve the problem. Have tried for four months to resolve but it is impossible. Horrible, horrible company.

Bought 2 Pocket hoses to be put together to make 50 ft. of hose. First one broke off at the connecter and then today the hose split and blew up in my face. I wrenched my hip jumping out of the way. I will wait and see how bad I am hurt. These should be taken off the market.

We bought the pocket hose through publishers clearing house. It was all right the first time we used it. It did not curl back up though. The second time the nozzle broke, so we replaced that.

The third time, hubby turned on the water and it got a bubble and burst. The whole hose just popped and shredded. This is a piece of garbage and a waste of money.

Anything you buy from Publishers Clearing House, has a 120 day guarantee but we didn’t buy it in the summer so by the time we tried it out, it was too late. Then they also don’t pay return shipping and handling.

Good concept … terrible product. First day cheep shut off valve broke. Bought replacement. Within 30 days … it started leaking from where the hose connects to the faucet. Cheaply built … don’t waste your money!

Like many others we’ve purchased 4 of these hoses throughout the summer and all 4 have split one place or another. We purchased from both Walmart and Meinards. My wife loves the fact that the hoses is light weight, doesn’t get tangled but we’ve spent over $100.00 on these hoses. You need to make some changes to make this product work. I would not recommend this hose to anyone….nor will we buy another one. In fact, it would be nice to be reimbursed some of the money spent on these worthless things! If you can’t make these things last for more than a couple weeks pull them off the market and stop ripping people off!!!

I bought one hose and returned to the where I got it from 4 times for replacements and all blew out. I got my money back because I refuse to get another one. They are weak and do not work and not the time to keep replacing them.

What a joke on a product that came with a fantastic design. Loved this hose but after four breaks, three with holes in them after only one weeks use and one where the nozzle just broke away spraying me as well as the flowers. When we walk into the store of purchase, the staff start laughing……not again they say! In one week they told us they had 75 hoses returned. Don’t waste your money.

3 hoses “BLEW OUT” in 4 months. Obviously, it was not test thoroughly or they would never have released it to the public. I see the company taking the $ and run ’cause they would go bankrupt if the stood by there warrant on all the hoses that’ve failed. Dozens of stories & even store employees are discouraging customers from buying it.

This is my third hose. The first two leaked at the shut off valve. I called the Pocket Hose Mfg. Customer service, they said they said I had to return the hose where I purchased it. They did not tell me the shut off valve was defective. Here is the Pocket Hose co. answer to the problem. They now put a sticker on the product package which basically says valve defective take it off and use with out valve. What a crock, you paid for something they are telling you not to use. So instead of repairing their inventory, they have put a sticker on the product. Disgraceful and shame on them.

I agree with all of the other comments. THESE HOSES ARE A PIECE OF JUNK. We bought two 50-foot ones and after using them a couple of months to water flowers (occasionally), they busted. We kept them on a hose reel in our garage when we weren’t using them so it wasn’t like they were left out in the weather. DON’T BUY THESE!!!

I have now, bought 4 of these hoses and I get to use them maybe 5 times, the first one, I only used once and it busted at the seems and it wasn’t because I left the water on because I was watering the flowers at the time. So I would say for the price they are junk and not worth it

Bought one at Menards, threw everything away before I used it. Got ready to use it and the female end was cracked. I called the company and they would do NOTHING for me. DON’T BUY IT they will not stand behind their product!

I purchased 4 of the 50′ pocket hose just 3 weeks ago and 2 of them have already blown up. I have a large yard and had purchased 2 for each side. This last weekend my granddaughter was watering my flowers and it just exploded not 2 feet from her hand. These are very dangerous! Don’t waste your money on such a CHEAPLY made and DANGEROUS items.. I should of known that they were just too good to be true!!

I have purchase this item and along with the other complains the same thing happen to me. The hoses inner liner develop a hole causing me to get wet or my wife. The only thing good about this item is the warranty but not all stores give the same one. I have been back and forth to Bed Bath and Beyond about once a month to exchange this item. To me it seems that the company could fix this problem since they know there is a problem. Also it seems to me that they are false adventizing by saying this hose will not break.

Total waste of money!! We hardly used it, and only 1 month after purchasing I was watering flowers and the thing exploded it scared the crap out of me. This is not safe at all. Then while looking at it, there were several holes through out the hose. Horrible!!

this is the fourth time i had to return my hose this time it filled like a blue water balloon and burst on my leg which left welts on my leg 4 trips back and forth to the store 8 miles away is not my way of spending my days. i called the customer service number and the man was very rude telling me to fax him a receipt and they will send me another one so here i go again traveling to find a fax machine to pay to send u a receipt i feel you should send me a new hose and stand behind your products and not put people thru this aggravation and take peoples word that we did buy this hose please respond 858 617 0089 linda jubb 26 road a audubon nj 08106 thank you wait to hear from you

I purchased this hose and was filling my above ground pool when it started to swell and broke the material and blew up in my face with such force my face was red for two days. I thought perhaps I just got a bad one in the bunch so I returned it for another one AND bought a second one as I love the idea of a light weight hose. Three days later they both blew up. VERY dangerous.

I bought a 50ft one and it worked fine until my husband put a nozzle on it that was more of a high powered spray then it developed a small leak near the top, I put my garden nozzle back on with the big holes and haven’t had any more leaks develop. I think you can only use nozzles that have large holes with pocket hose.

I have bought 3 pocket hoses. With very minimal use I impress with minimal use 2 out of the three hoses have developed a hole. I am very disappointed in the hose. I was excited about the hose and the possible uses. I am very disappointed in your product. The advertised construction of these hoses is not true. They DO NOT stand up to the use of a regular hose. YES they are light weight and easy to store but the way the hose is built is poor. I have recommended this product to many friends but in the future I will let them know how poor the hose really is. Please review the real capability of this hose and make the necessary changes to make it what is advertised. For me I will not buy or recommend this product to anyone.

The pocket hose SUCKS! Bought one and within a week the rubber burst at the top where it screws into the faucet. Did a switch a roo and got another one. The plastic that turns the hose off and on broke. What a piece of crap.

It happened to me as I attached a spray so I could water my flowers. I stepped away for a minute or two after turning on the faucet and all of a sudden I heard somewhat like it had break and turned around and saw water shooting horizontally towards the brick wall. I immediately turned off the faucet and looked what caused it and saw a tear in the rubber hose. I went shopping @ Kmart and saw it on sale. I slapped a post it note on the ad sign that wrote “don’t buy…worthless crap

Total waste of money! It leaked profusely at the nozzle after less than 30 days of use. We cut the nozzle off and then it started leaking everywhere along the hose. It is a great idea but a really rotten product. Don’t buy.

This thing is JUNK!!! My parents bought one and part of it swelled up like a sausage and BURST !! Thank god they weren’t hurt. I bought one and within 2 weeks the plastic switch (to turn on and off) broke. About 2 months later, it sprung a huge leak at the spigot. Hard to believe that TWO of these hoses didn’t last more than a few months!!! Don’t waste your money!!

I bought 2 of these for my house. well I have taken 3 back to Walmart since. They break at the connection of the sprayer. Walmart told me that 33% are returned for defects. Great product keep your receipt because 30 days or less later you will return a broken hose.

Waste of money I have bought 3 and due to returns have had 8 so far. Now two more will have to be replaced. After using these three for about 2 months two have come apart. One the cloth has rotted. Waste, waste waste.

This hose is a scam. We bought one we were using it on our yard for the second time low-pressure on the water and the hose popped what a piece of junk waste of time I will never ever understand why it’s okay to advertise lies on American TV. And shame on any retailer that sells this product you are helping lie to the American people this product does not work and does not deserve any endorsement from anyone.

We thought this looked great on TV, worked OK for 2 months. Now we are having massive failures of the inside part and there is nothing available to repair them. A total waste of money, false advertising. Save your money, don’t buy these.

I bought two 75 foot pocket hoses about 4 months ago. They were great for a while. Now both are experiencing massive failures of the inside blue portion, there’s nothing that size to repair them, a total waste of my money.

The concept of this hose is great only if it worked. The first Pocket Hose I bought had a pin hole in the plastic nozzle that squirted water out. I took it back to Walmart for an exchange. I got another one and it leaked all around the plastic nozzle again I returned it for an exchange, they say the third time is a charm well believe me it is not. The third Pocket Hose leaked at the base of the nozzle also so that will be the last time I try the Pocket Hose. They need to have all those hoses recalled.

My 86 year old dad bought one of these. It had a leak at the point the hose connects with the coupler. He took it back and got another. Same problem. Then, he got a refund. This morning, the Today Show did a feature on these “as seen on TV” products. Their hose didn’t leak…as far as we know.

My complaint is the same as all of the others. I hung it outside on a wrack near the faucet. The hose developed a leak and would not reach the 50′ I had been accustomed to. As I am disabled, this is the only way I can water my yard. My other hoses are way to heavy for me. Very disappointing; I thought this is one thing I can still do. If it worked as advertised, it would be great for people with physical disabilities. Somebody out there, maybe a civil engineer could perfect this hose so people like me could feel useful.

Apparently the pocket hose they used for the commercial is NOT the pocket hose they sell!! I don’t think I’d go back and buy a third, fourth, etc. I, for one, am sooo skeptical of most gadgets I see on tv. How any company would waste time and money marketing something they haven’t thoroughly tested is beyond me. I guess they are banking on people just tossing it in the trash, rather than demanding a refund. Must be making money for someone. They keep on doing it and people keep on falling for it. What’s disappointing is the way celebrities will agree to be a part of rip-offs like this!

I bought a pocket hose for my house from walmart about 2 weeks ago. Today the thing blew out , about 18 in from the faucet and burst out through the material. I was enjoying the ease of use. , but it burst anyway. DO NOT BUY!!!! .

I bought a pockethose for my house from Home Depot about 1 month ago. Today the plastic inside the hose, very thin plastic, broke at the faucet and burst out through the material. This was a big waste of money…back to the real kind of hose. The idea is terrific and I was enjoying the ease of use. I kept it in the shade, put a nozzle on it, emptied it each time all per instructions placed carefully on the hose, but it burst anyway. DO NOT BUY!!!! Somewhere there is a guarantee but I have yet to find out where.

Bought 2 of the pocket hoses ,lasted for about 4 themes I used them,one blew out while my wife was watering her plants, she got soaked, I went out and took the 2 50 ft hoses apart and while I was watering her plants the other hose blew out at the connection at the house. Bought theses at wal-mart. Hope to get my money back. This is a don’t buy item.

The pocket hose by far is the worst product I’ve encountered so far. I bought 2 hoses at Walmart. The first one couldn’t handle normal water pressure and blew up like a balloon and then popped. The second one also came apart at the nozzle (2 holes). I can’t believe a product like this was not tested thoroughly. It was a good idea, but the quality is a 0. I threw one of the hoses in the garbage and the other I took back to Walmart. They graciously gave me credit for one hose. I’m afraid there might be a class action suit very soon unless this product is pulled from the shelves.

Absolutely the worst product I have ever bought. Didn’t last a month, pinholes in the valve, split and explodes, split by the hose bib, just a terrible product. We bought three of these rip offs. A complete waste of money.

I loved this hose until it sprung a leak. Took it back to get a replacement at Walmart without a receipt since it was a “mother’s day” gift I asked for. First time I used the new one, it did the same. Off to take it back, just hope Walmart will give money back without receipt.

DO NO BUY. A total waste of your money. I purchased two 25 foot hoses. I had to use teflon tape to prevent leaking. It required a lot. I tried the hose shut off. It blew right off the hose. I then used just the nozzle shut off after I applied more teflon tape. Two weeks later one hose blew a hole in it. I did not have the sales slip so I just threw it away and purchased another. That one lasted two weeks. It blew apart. The company would do nothing to help me because I did not have the sales slip. This product is a WASTE of your money.

Glad to see I’m not the only one that has had problems with this hose. bought two of them in about 2 months and both blew up right under the valve. Very awesome idea cause I really cant stand having a hose kink up all the time when trying to use the thing, but this hose is a piece of crap by far.

Enjoyed the Pocket Hose perfectly as advertised for about 3 months. Then was watering one day, hose uncurled but causally laying, not stretched, when “POP” the hose burst completely off, right behind the plastic connector to the spigot. $19.95 + tax for roughly 90 days usage?

The first hose began leaking within the first week. Returned for another 5′ hose. This one lasted about 6 weeks. Burst at the nozzle end. Pocket hose is a good idea, but requires a lot more quality improvement before I’d buy another. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

I purchased the hose at Daytona flea market at Items sold on TV tent. The video playing claimed it had a ten year warranty. We thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well when we got home to ct. and turned it on it didn’t last ten seconds never mine ten years. It blew up like a rubber and exploded. Junk. Save your money.

I purchased two 75 foot pocket hoses. I also purchased the extra strength outer skin to ensure I would have the best they have to offer. I bought them about two months ago. Both of them came apart at the female coupling end. The rest of the hose is fine but I have no way to put another coupling on. So I wasted $55 on two hoses. Unfotunately I do not have my receipts so I cannot get my money back. I certainly will never buy another one these hose again.

Biggest piece of crap I have ever bought, blew a hole in it on the 4th time using it.. AND yes I shut off valve on my house and hose, then drained.. I want my $20 back.. This product needs to be removed from store shelves more and more people are going to be scammed out of there money…

My mother bought two of the 50 ft hoses and I bought one and all have leaked at the spigot and 2 so far have blew out not just the plastic insides but the cloth material also none had been used more than a few times. A real disappointment, especially for the cost.

I also bought this hose. First one leaked only after being used about one month, bought second and the same thing happened to it. Both leak around the spigot. Love the idea of this product. So easy to use, light, no kinks. Can’t someone make this product with different(stronger) material?

I purchased a 50ft hose about 6 weeks ago. I loved the light weight and ease of use to water the small flower bed and hanging pots in front of my apartment. Today, it blew up in my face right at the faucet. The valve was not shut and I don’t have much water pressure. My daughter bought one about 1 month ago, and after two uses it split right in the middle. She has even less water pressure than I do. I am very disappointed that such a great idea has gone so badly. Of course I don’t have the receipt, so cant get a refund or exchange for another in the hopes the new one would not have that issue. Being on social security, money is too tight to be wasting it on products that fail so quickly.

I bought 2 of your 50′ hoses from Walmart a couple of months ago. One of them worked fine for 1 month before it started leaking real bad at the spigot connection. I NEVER stretched the hose out all the way or when I hung it back up. The second worked for about 2-mos. only because we got so much rain the 2nd month and I didn’t have to water my plants. Tonight was the first time that I used it since all of the rain and it’s doing the same thing as the first one did. This was a waste of $40.00 + tax!! When I first got them I was bragging about them to my friends, but now I’m going to tell them not to buy them. I’ve already called my mother and told her to return hers if she still has her receipt since she hasn’t taken it out of the package yet. Since I no longer have my receipt or the packages I just lost my money. I’m very disappointed in the product!

I had the same experience. Two hoses, a 25ft and a 75 ft. Did not use sprayers or nozzles. One blew in the middle on fifth use, the other sprung a large leak at the spigot connection. At $40 for the 75 foot (includes S & H, I cannot afford to replace it. They only have a 30 day guarantee, and I didn’t need to use it that much because of the Oregon rain. I am very disappointed.

I bought a 50 foot hose at walmart and then another of the same at walmart when the first one failed at the nozzle as Randy Martin describes….I will add the following information….This product is actually a bigger piece of crap than Mr Martin states….there is not a superlative in our language to describe how much of a piece of crap this hose is….They are useless.

I bought one, and after the shut off tab broke and leaked on the first use I bought a second one thinking maybe I just got a bad one. The second one was used approx. 5 times before it burst at the nozzle hook up point. Im happy actually to read all of the bad reviews and see ALL of them appear to be bad, and not just my bad luck. What a shame, good idea, poor design…. This will go back to the store, they will not be keeping my money for a product that is worthless.

Though about buying one for light watering, won’t now. My question is why are there so many people buying 3,4,5 one review even said 7 if they fail so often. Who’s dumber the manufacturer or the buyer?

My mom and sister each bought one — sister’s failed and she returned it. Mother returned it without testing. But I WANTED to try it, so bought only one. We have four spigots outside, though, and that might answer your question as to why people would buy several. If not for the family experience with the pocket hose, I would have probably bought four. I read the messages, and it did not seem they were serial purchase … they were bought at the same time.
Mine blew the sprayer off the first time we turned it on! My husband is handy and was able to get it to working condition, and it lasted five weeks, I would say. I have arthritis in my wrists and fingers, so I loved the light weight and maneuverability. Sadly, we turned it on the other evening, and water just gushed from below the sprayer, a major blowout. Someone said it right … the manufacturers and marketers made a big fat bundle on us. A great idea that they didn’t make property — but they marketed the heck out of it, didn’t they?

I am very disappointed in the pocket hose I purchase two of them from sears had them for about one month used one of them every other day to clean my bird bath disconnected it each time and kept it in the garage then it started to leak around the connector to the hose got the second one out used it two times and it does the same thing no receipt so I’m out $40. I really liked how easy it was to handle. Someone sure made a bundle off of a lot of people.

This is a very dangerous product!! my mom had one blow up in her face.. Sounded like a bomb going off. She has sent in pictures of the hose. She ended up with a severe migraine all day. This is what you get when you buy something from CHINA!!!

Buyer beware, initially I loved it. I used it about 5 times just to water my flower pots on the front porch. One day while using, a huge balloon suddenly formed at the end of the hose. It burst right in my face!!! Buyer beware!!! This should be taken off the market, they are stealing from people!!!

I was so excited to finally get one..had it for less than a week and it’s going back…I was watering the garden and heard something; looked down and it looked like a balloon was blowing up, then POP. This is disappointing..I loved the idea of getting rid of my bulky hose, now what?

Purchased 4 of the 75 foot hoses,, gave one to my son and one to my daughter, have two at the house and one after after being used around 5 times has broken at the plastic fitting where the hose connects to the threaded section that goes on the faucet,, very cheaply made, not worth the money, do not recommend purchasing one of these hoses.

I bought 5 hoses in about 4 about 4 months time and all hoses either leaked at the nozzle or burst open.
I think they should be taken off the market and show a recall.
They do not last more than 1 month.
I lost about $30.00 buying this fraud type hose.

My pocket hose is about 2 months old. Today, after turning on the water, it burst right at the fauset connection. My water pressure is not high. I like the product. In fact, I have two of them. Do you have a model that is reinforced?

I bought 2 of the pocket hose 50ft. LOVED them however they didn’t last long at all. Both were only about 2 months old and neither were used often. I almost threw away my other hoses because I thought these going to be the hoses I would stick with. As many of the other consumers mine broke. The first one popped while I was using so it wasn’t like I was building pressure in the hose and the second one broke at the nozzle. The little on/off piece broke off and water started shooting right out of it. Both ended up in the trash. Disappointed with the product and do not recommend.

This is exactly what happened to me. I only used it about 5 times. Loved it at first but the on/off piece broke. I put my old nozzle on it. It worked for 2 more times and the connection by the faucet exploded and I did not even have the water on all the way and had the nozzle in the open position. I am glad I did not throw my old hose away. This was a good idea but poorly constructed. I will not recommend this hose to anyone.

I BOUGHT YOUR 50 FT. POCKET HOSE FROM WALMART IN PARIS ,IL. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND MY SON JUST HOOKED IT UP SAT. JULY 13 TH. TURNED THE WATER ON AND THE END BLEW OFF AND HIT ME IN THE FACE (NO DAMAGE, THANK GOD) SO NOW I’M OUT $1999 + TAX, AND HAVE NO HOSE.

My daughter bought a pocket hose for me as a Father’s day present. I used it three times before it burst in the middle. This product should be removed from the market. It is a total scam to sell junk like this to the consumer.

To whomsoever it may concern, I had bought your hose about a month ago. I still have the receipt & it burst. It was hooked up to the faucet & when I turned it on it burst. Can I return it? I will mail it back with the receipt.

I purchased 2 of the 50 ft. pocket hoses at walmart about 2 months ago. I only used the hoses 3 or 4 times when the end pf one came loose started leaking and the other popped like a baloon. If I can find my receipt, I will take them back and demand my money back. This company should be held liable for false advertising!

I purchased two of the 50 foot hoses for $19.99 each and both are a piece of junk!. One came apart at the connector and the other popped like a balloon! I purchased them from a store and cannot find my receipt so now I am out $40.00 and am very upset about it! I will never purchase anything that says “as seen on TV” and will never recommend anyone to do so either!

I purchased two 100 ft pocket hose from the company . Both popped . can I calm on warranty . I bought them in Feb. 08,13 . for $65.97 . of course in Nebraska we waited to use them . telebrands corp. I have my canceled check.

Purchased two 100 ft pocket hose from the company . Both popped . can I calm on warranty . I bought them in Feb. 08. 13 for $65.97. Of course in Nebraska we waited to use them. Telebrands Corp. I have my canceled check.

Called the company . They were polite and said “replacement will come in 4 to 6 weeks. The concept is great. I used the shut off valve, it builds up pressure then popped. Knowing this will only improve my purchase.

Never had gotten around to reviews, just locked on to the ‘good idea’ part. My tiny wife is a real freak with the greenery. Same experiences as everyone else, BUT every time I called, they sent a new one, and after 6-8 replacements, they refunded my total purchase price.

I am so thrilled I stumbled upon your site. I really found you by mistake, while I was browsing on Yahoo for something else. Anyways I am here now and would just like to say thank you for a useful post and an all round enjoyable blog. (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to read through it all at the moment, but I have added your website to my favorites, so when I have time I will be back to read more. Please do keep up the awesome job!

Do not waste ure money with this product, Have purchased 2 of them and both have had problems with the male end when attaching sprayer, the black coupling come apart from the hose. Someone needs to redesign the connecting ends of this hose.

I HAVE PURCHASED 7 OF THESE ‘GREEN THINGS” gave 1 to a neighbor & have returned 5 for replacement. 1 of the replaced hoses BURST about center. 2 of the replaced and all the returned ones BURST at the connections. I have not heard from the neighbor ? The ones I have left are still in the containers they came in. My wife refuses to try another one(she has been soaked twice, already!) Was a great idea. CAN YOU SAY “QUALITY CONTROL” ?! Guess they all have to go back !

Last month I purchased (4) 50′ hoses = over $100.00 with tax! ALL (4) leak at the connector AND at the “on/off” switch! Add to that, (2) out of the (4) POPPED like a balloon! I gave away over 200′ of GOOD hose with an automatic hose winder…..guess I’m the LOSER on this deal! What are you going to do about this mess??

I would not recommend this hose. I have bought 4 now and they don’t last very long. I bought one 2 days ago and it already has 2 leaks in it. For $20 a hose, they don’t last very long. Very disappointed in them as I thought it was going to be great to water my flowers with every night.

First I bought the 25 ft. pocket hose. I was so impressed I bought two 50 ft. hoses, for the front and backyards. I was delighted with the ease and convenience of them. However, after a very short time they all began to leak where the hoses were inserted in the plastic pieces. Now I am faced with trying to return them (I did not save the boxes or the sales slips). I believe they came with a lifetime guarantee so will try to return them. One was bought at Home Depot, one at Grocery Outlet and one at Walmart. Will see how it goes when I try to return them. I will be happy with at least a store credit. Time will tell. Meanwhile, I have hooked up my old fashioned hoses and struggle with them each time I use them. Looking forward to improvements in the “pocket hoses” in the very near future.

I bought the Pocket Hose at the local big box retailer. I attached it to my faucet and used it the next day. It worked just as they said it would! I was so happy with my purchase… until I used it for the second time. Within seconds of turning the tap on, only to about half power, a hole in the hose burst open! When I returned it to the store for a refund, the clerk said they’d had a lot of them returned. Now I know.

I bought 4 of these hoses and within a week they all leaked and the ends broke. I looked everywhere on the containers and there is no form of a warranty at all. They are junk, the concept is wonderful…they just don’t hold up to any kind of use!

I bought 2 of the 50 ft. hoses at Walmart. I was very happy with it at first and bought a third. Then one by one, they failed. One started leaking all along the hose. Tonight while watering the garden, a large bubble formed and burst open splitting the fitting right of the hose. I still have one that I am keeping in the garage and taking out as needed but I don’t hold out much hope of finishing out the season. I would not recommend this product and am annoyed that I spent so much money on hoses that I will now have to replace.

Bought two of these things, 50 ft. one still works but I have only used it a couple of times. The other one leaks like crazy. I could have spent the money on a good hose. This is a rip off. I have a hard time carry a big rubber hose but at least I would have gotten my moneys worth.

I purchased 2 of these 50ft hose, one from Walmart and one from Walgreens. After using them a couple of times they both blew up, Yes, BLEW UP!! Exploded!!! This is dangerous to use and I would NEVER recommend anyone to purchase these hose!! Did not keep the receipts so was unable to return the items!!! So, I lost money by purchasing these!

What a scam! I bought two of the 25′ hoses for use on the dock when cleaning my boat. Sounded like such a great idea! First hose completely ripped away from the cheapo plastic fitting (which leaked continuously until it did blow apart!), and the second hose had so many leaks on first time use that it was like trying to get water to flow through a tube of window screen! Neither hose lasted more than that first initial use. Terrible product. Not worth the shipping costs, yet alone the product costs!

This pocket hose is a piece of crap. I was getting ready to clean my birdbath and the damn thing exploded right in my face. Would not buy another one and I am telling people not to buy it. What a rip off.

I too bought 4 of these at walmart… 19.99 each. Within a month and a half three of them have been thrown in the dump… they started leaking at the connection and one even unraveled. The idea is great but the product is not good… since I didn’t have the receipt any longer I just chaulked it up to a good idea gone bad…

Bought 4 of them in January at CVS. Did not start using them until May. Two of them blew up recently. Called the Company was told to go back to CVS. Went to CVS was told to go to the Manufacturer. Getting the royal run around. Maybe it’s time to start calling the Attorney General Offices and complaining. Maybe a class action lawsuit will help too. Waiting to see when the last two will blow up.

I have bought 3 of this so called wonderful hose, $19.99 each!! They came loose tore all the way through. They are crap!! I would like to get my money back!!!! I would like to tell people if they are thinking about buying one…don’t. You will be wasting your money!!!

This hose is the biggest piece of crap that I have ever purchased. I took the two I bought back three times because I was so entranced at how easy it was to use. But it leaks. The last one I used today bubbled up and exploded water all in my face. The attachments should be metal. It is not even heavy duty enough to allow a good stream of water to flow. These are disposable. Someone is making a killing on this crappy product. The concept behind it is great, but the materials used to manufacture are lousy. Will be returning two more tomorrow for a full refund!!!

I work at a returns desk and I see these come all the time. The concept is good, but the product is not worth the time or money! Fix the problems before you loose ALL your customers please! I don’t recommend this product for anyone!

I received pocket hose for my birthday in May and it broke in half while watering my flowers last night, gave it a tug and it snapped. What a piece of crap, waste of money…another product manufactured in china!

I am so angry!!! These hoses are dangerous! They should be banded from all stores & advertisements! My mother bought her two, and me two. All four hoses exploded! YES! BLEW UP!!! The last one blew up in my face! Scared me to death! If it would have been a child, it could have really hurt them bad!!! TAKE THESE HOSES and get them off the market now! I have signs made to take to store & put up on the danger of these hoses! I have already been in the stores seeing people looking at them and telling them, they are not safe! You are cheating people out of their money, and putting them in danger! Stop before someone looses an eye! You got $80.00 of our money for nothing, and gas, & having to go buy new hoses!!!

This is the worst hose I have ever purchased. Second time I turned the hose on it started spraying out about two feet from the end. I threw the package and receipt away before the second use, my bad I guess. Hose is pure junk.

I will not recommend the Pocket Hose to anyone. I purchased a 50ft. hose about a month ago and it is leaking in about 10 spots. I’ve only used it twice and it just started to leak everywhere. I told my friends that it was a piece of junk.

I bought two 50 ft. pocket hoses that worked just fine for two watering sessions. The third session ended abruptly when the hose was growing like a water balloon and ripped through the seams of the outer layer and exploded. They should have mentioned that this was a disposable hose. Don’t waste your time and money with this product.

I bought 2 50′ pocket hoses and both times with first time use, they both broke at the on/off switches! these hoses are not worth the money or the time…..they should not be allowed on the market! I don’t know who approved of these hoses but they are nothing but a rip off and from the looks of it. I’m not the only one who got scammed from these hoses!!!

Bought this around Christmas time from Bed Bath and Beyond… Hooked it up this spring and use it about 3 times a week to water the flower pots on my deck. I loved it until it started leaking from both ends where it hooks into the black plastic parts at both ends. Leaks so bad it never even expands anymore…….only maybe lasted 4-6 weeks…shameful waste of money.

I just returned my 6th hose to Walmart. None of them have lasted more than 3-6 uses. I really like the hose, and I keep thinking the maker of pocket hose will sooner or later figure out they have a problem. It’s fantastic to store, it won’t kink, but I did have it tangle, sort of a knot, on several occasions. So far, the problem is at the connection, or it springs a leak in the hose. Walmart always takes it back, and lets me exchange it for a new hose. It has a 10 year warranty, so I just take it back and get another. It really is a great idea.

I have bought 3 pocket hoses in the last couple of weeks. I bought 2 50 foot ones and 1 25 foot one. I have thrown all three away because each one of them blew leaks and squirted water everywhere. I was so excited to get these hoses because I have a hard time with the big rubber hoses. I am so disappointed. I hope you can do something for me. Thank you!!!!!

We bought one 50 ft pocket hose at Walmart. It leaked where the hose joined the plastic connector at the faucet and then the hose cracked and could not be replaced or fixed. Unfortunately I cannot find the 10 year warranty card so I can return it to Walmart for a replacement. Very disappointed in the product. I liked the product when we I used it the first time and then it broke. What a rip off.

I bought two 50 ft. pocket hoses and they both leaked at the connection, then a few days later they developed tiny holes, (and I only use them on a smooth patio surface) and today one completely burst open…I should have used my $40 on a nice steak dinner. It would’ve lasted about as long, and much more enjoyable!

I wish I would have looked at this website before I ordered 2 hoses from a LTD book…. I had the hoses for about 2 months and they literally EXPLODED!!!!!!! I had 2 attached and they both busted at the connector, which went flying and put one heck of a dent in my car……I have learned my lesson…IF IT’S TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, DON’T BUY IT..

This product is garbage. I used it for a few weeks and then the fabric split and the plastic hose split and exploded. The same thing happened to my Mom’s. They sent a new one and the same thing happened. I really wanted to like it because it is so lightweight to carry all around the yard and then it is so easy to store but the quality is garbage. Don’t bother buying.

This worked for about 2 weeks then split right at the nozzle. I have not been able to talk to a person when I called the company all I get is a recording that tries to sell me another hose. Terrible customer service.

Had the hose for three days. Was cleaning the driveway and BOOM it blew apart at the fitting. I tried to repair it with a hose clamp, but why???? I misplaced the receipt and probably am stuck with it. Will not purchase another one, would like to return this one.

I ordered 3 pocket hoses it took 6 weeks. I loved it & bragged to everyone about it. A week later they all sprung pinhole leaks. I liked that it is light weight. I would have to pay shipping to send back. If it took six weeks to get hose how long will it take to get money back? Why are they able to sell this in the USA? This is a scam!

I bought three 50’ hoses. THEY ALL LEAKED within 2 weeks after only few uses. How can such a great idea for a product be such a piece of junk? Really! I am so disappointed. This product must be removed from the market until the company come with an industrial quality that will last for a long time. Until then ***** DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!! *****

I bought 100′ & 50′ pocket hoses from a catalogue. I love the lightness and flexibility, but my 100′ hose sprung a big leak and I had to throw it away after a month and a half of use. I’m pretty unhappy because I bragged about the hose so that my friends bought too and I also purchased a couple as gifts. I don’t remember the catalogue I ordered from, but it’s one of the few places for that long length. There’s a manufacturer’s guarantee, but it doesn’t do me any good without any paperwork

I have purchased 3-50 ft. hoses and 4-25 ft. hoses. All 3 of the 50 ft. hoses and 1 of the 25 ft. hose busted to no end. My daughter and I literally got drenched both ended up with cold symptoms from the wetness and the cool air. This is far the truth than the advertisement being relayed to the public. With the cost of the hoses, shipping and handling, besides the aggravation, I hope other customers find that it is not worth buying this product unless there is major change in the quality of the pocket hoses. This has been wasted money and the trust of this company for me and hope other customers learn from these complaints.

I bought a pocket hose at a Home Depot. Brought it home , hooked it up, turned it on, plastic had a cut in it. Very bad Quality control from the manufacturer. I will take it back and hopefully get my money back and will not purchase another one. Just can’t believe everything you see on TV!

Three days ago I bought three pocket hose’s and when I hooked it up and turned the water on I found a small pin hole in the hose about one foot down from the facet. the second hose had a hair line crack by the shut off valve on the hose and the third on also had two hole’s about half way the hose. to me it seam’s like the hose’s are poorly made . I will admit they are nice and lite weight easy to use but I would not recommend it to anyone.

I bought a pocket hose and I used it 3 times. The 3rd time it blew up in my face . I have low pressure and I don’t know why this happened. At my age 81 I would have like this for my garden. Where can I get a new one back without having to send this back and pay some more money?

I’m on my third one from Bed bath and Beyond. I walked in the door with my busted one and the clerk just pointed to the stack of new ones. I threw the junk one on the counter and I was gone. I would imagine the retailer that you purchased it from will do the same.

This Pocket Hose is the biggest scam I have ever experienced! I bought 2 50 foot lengths one month ago. At first, they both worked great! All in one day, both leaked, and I mean in big gushes at the connecting points. They cannot be repaired, because you can’t find anything that will repair them. They are cheaply made in China. What else could one expect??

Purchased a 50ft pocket hose and after 10 minutes it bursted at the outlet. Save your money and purchase a good quality rubber hose. This has been the worst product I have ever purchased. The inside hose is cheap plastic and after inspection, I am surprised it lasted 10 minutes.

I purchased one of these 50 ft pocket hoses and the 3rd time I used it the end popped off. I was very careful not place a lot of pressure immediately on this thing anyway each time I used it. I am so disappointed in this product. I think it is terrible how people spend their hard earned money and get such quality. I purchased this hose because I have extreme back arthritis issues and thought it would be a great instead of dragging out the old rubber hose being so difficult. What a joke. Now the next joke is I accidentally shredded my receipt just a few days before and now am stuck with this useless thing I purchased from a Drug Store Chain. Apparently these things weren’t tested because they sure would not have passed to be sold on the market.

Was so excited when I purchased my POCKET hose. Brought it home and connected it right away. It leaked like crazy ! Not only in one place but in three places. I was trying to loosen and then tried to tighten it, all in hopes that it would stop leaking. In doing so …it broke. Therefore I was not able to return it to the store . I was so disappointed because the hose is so light weight, so I bought another one. Guess what?? The same thing happened only in different places. This is just crazy. The hose is going back and I will NOT buy another one.

Pocket Hose is CRAP… DO NOT BUY IT. Had it for about a month. Worked great for about 3 weeks. Then I noticed a small leak no big deal. Then a few days ago I went to water my lawn and half of the hose has leaks and I hardly get any water pressure. I will never buy this again.

I decided to buy a pocket hose for a camping trip we just got back from. Well, i hooked the hose up and watched it grow in length as shown on TV. I sprayed a few things off I needed cleaned and set about setting up the rest of our campsite. While taking a break we noticed that there was a puddle of water near where the hose was. I investigated and saw that the hose had split and was leaking profusely rendering this hose completely useless. I had to throw it away. It cost me $20.00 to use a hose for about a minute. Something is wrong with this picture. Now, I ask; how do I get my money back?

I will not purchase another one of these hoses. They do not roll up as shown on TV. We bought two so that we could take these with us when camping. Used one day and where water hose connects to house, they blew holes in them.

I was so excited when I received the pocket hose as a mother’s day gift. Worked great till yesterday. Was watering the garden and it exploded. Great idea but bad product. What a waste of money. Could have bought a regular hose for less and had it for 2-3 years.

I had my pocket hose I ordered from Publisher’s Clearing House for just two weeks, then it burst wide open, I wish I had my money back, I paid $27.00 for it.. A huge waste of money and so disappointed. I will write consumer’s report on this matter & BBB. Don’t buy this crap!

My girlfriend and I bought two fifty FT pocket hoses and they work great for a little while. Then One of the hoses burst in my hands. The hose looks like someone packed it with explosives. It’s useless. Lasted about two months.

The pocket hose is just that, it is always taking money out of your pocket because it doesn’t last. It comes apart at the hose ends and by all means don’t drag it across the driveway. It will spring a leak in no time. I would not recommend this hose to my worst enemy.

This may be the shoddiest construction of a retail product I’ve ever seen. I bought two of these hoses in one week. The first had pin holes in it out of the package, and split at the seam on the second use. Returned it to Walmart and got another with similar results, only this time there are leaks in the nozzle connector and additional pin holes along the length of the hose. I fully intend to notify the Attorney General of my state because this is fraud pure and simple.

Do not buy this hose. I have had four of them go bad soon after I bought them. Two of them the plastic couplings leaked. The other two the hose split, one of them right out of the box. The retailers Offered to replace the hoses but what good does that do if they don’t work.

Does anyone know how to get a hold of the company that makes pocket hose? I have had two of these burst and one of them when it busted it hit my 3 year old son. I will never buy one of these again. I want the company to know that they can cause damage when they burst.

I purchased my first POCKET HOSE from Bed Bath and Beyond some 2 months ago and the very first time I put water into it, it leaked from no less than six places. I returned it to the store where it was purchased, 10 miles away, and was given another in it’s place. Upon use, it functioned well, as good as a hose can, I suppose. I was then informed that I would have to have a kidney removed and I coiled the hose up and shut off the water supply. It has been about 3 weeks since that time and I just came in from trying to water the shrubs and flowers about the homestead and lo and behold, the hose was spewing water from the joint of attachment in volume unbelievable!!!

Needless to say, I have had it with this piece of crap and will shout it to the heavens what an absolute waste and rip-off it is. I will not even bring it back to get an exchange or refund; it’s not worth the cost of gas to travel to the store.

I will make it a point to let every person that I know, what a scam you are shilling to the public and let them know what kind of trash you are selling!!!

I purchased a 100ft pocket hose and within a week it sprung a leak at the connection to the house. I had to cut the hose, remove the metal clamp and reattach the hose the female end with another clamp. Within a week after that it sprung a pinhole leak in the middle of the hose. I found this product substandard to say the least.

We bought 3 of these at Wal Mart. All broke at the seam after a month of use. We made certain not to leave the water on when the hose was not being used, so water pressure build-up is not the problem with this item. The Pocket Hose is a defective product. I do not recommend anyone wasting their money on this.

I have bought 4 hoses, reason being they leak within 2 months of use at the hydrant connection from hose connector to the hose, not at connector to the hydrant itself. I do appreciate the lightness of hose. I bought 2 hoses and both leaked at same area within 2 days of each other. I replaced both, however I just went to front yard to start watering and same ole same ole as other 2. Very disappointed now I am out about $80.00. Bad news I have to go back to the old heavy and kinky hoses!! Burnt once shame on you burnt twice as I was shame on me.

I love the pocket hose all but one problem—the round part that screws onto faucet is not strong enough and it leaks and eventually breaks—I went to pocket hose site and Telebrands but they have no web site that you can register a complaint-just phone numbers. The leak is where the green hose fits into the plastic at the spigot–like the hose fix the problem.

Bought two 50 foot pocket hoses to make it easier for my 70 year old wife to water her flowers. They were a big improvement over the heavy rubber ones until my wife forgot one night to turn off the water at the faucet. Shortly thereafter, one of the hoses ruptured. I realize that the instructions said not to leave the hoses under pressure, but you would think that they would be substantial enough to withstand a few hours when one forgets. That was not the case, so suffice it to say, I have bought my last Pocket Hose.

Placed an internet purchase for three (3) 100 foot pocket hoses for my horse ranch in Montana. They had more than one way to contact me by phone, email and mail. They choose to send me six (6) 50 foot hoses and a little slip of typed message paper that the were doing that because the 100 foot ones were not available.

What they should have done was contacted me 1st to see if that was acceptable, but they didn’t. Then I called their 855 toll free phone number and spoke to a girl with a thick English Pakistan accent annoying me terrible with her polite “I am very sorry to her that Mr. (me) line over and over again.

Sending the 6, 50 foot hoses, back for a credit on my credit card and hope it doesn’t get worse. Asking them to notify me when the 100 foot ones are available.

Bought 3 hoses. So far 2 of them have split open. Each one had only been used twice. The first one even had a small hole in the male end which I fixed using plumbers tape. I’m sure this was a factory defect. I work in a marina and have talked many boat owners into buying them. (we don’t sell them.) I hope they have better luck then I’m having.

Pocket Hose quality is terrible. We have tried several, and we have had bad leaks near the top where assembled, plastic lever break, and more problems, they are really badly built terrible quality,, just hunk.. they work, and are light, but are total junk… the commercials are misleading because they try to show they are built strong which are all outright lies!

Don’t waste your money. I have a 25 foot and a 50 foot. The 50 foot spring a leak at the black connection the first time I used it. The 25 foot is of no use to me since I have more than that area to cover. Taking it back even though I don’t have the container or receipt.

Complete rip off. Got mine at Target and hope I can get it refunded. Concept is so good; light weight, no kink, good pressure. By 4th use the water was coming completely out of the join, not the nozzle. A real disappointment.

I also purchased two of these for the myself + son, both great for about 5 weeks, then the black fitting started leaking and broke away, major leak. can not be fixed. Check the Pocket Hose website, the return policy is with in 30 days. I purchased both at a retailer with same return policy. Screwed

We bought 4 of these hose’s & in the first 2 weeks one sprung a leak, so I returned it to Walmart & she said a lot is being returned. Then after a month the second one tore & started to leak, that to got returned. I had no problem returning them. We came to the conclusion that they are only good for a small patio where they won’t be drug across the lawn. So far so good with the one off our bedroom patio. We also put the last one in our travel trailer (it won’t get to much use) it’s small & lightweight to store. My daughter also bought one & her’s popped in less than 2 weeks. It’s a great idea but really needs to be made from a type of material made to be drug around a yard.

I thought this was going to be the wonder hose as it is advertised. Boy was I wrong. First off it does not retract like they say or show on TV. I used it for almost a month and thought it was going to be a good hose till it swelled up on me and burst hitting me in the arm. A friend of mine had one that she hadn’t used yet so she said I could have it and see if it was better than the one I paid $20 for, so I tried it and it did the same thing burst in about a week. And to make it worse you cannot get a hold of anyone to make a complaint or request your money back. I will never buy one of these again and will be spreading the word about how faulty they are.

Fortunately I got mine at Walmarts. I had 3. The first one had a leak in it right off. The second, the black plastic piece at the head broke off. Then the 3rd one exploded. Being I got them at Walmarts, I was able to get my money back. I didn’t have the receipt to return the last and chaulk it up to a loss of $12.95, something like that. Stop buying stuff off tv and try to get things from places where you will get your money back.

These green hoses are a knock off of a very good USA made Blue one. QVC or HSN, some shopping network warned about the green China ones exploding and was selling the Blue ones. They are much more expensive at around $45. each, but being money back easy and that they are better quality, if you can find the Blue ones, try them out, but make sure you buy from a store and not off the internet or television commercial. I believe the Blue ones are made here in the USA, not sure.

I know I said not to buy off tv or internet, but QVC and HSN or the others that are easy to get a refund from you can rely on. Just the off late tv infomercials you need to stay away from. Just buy the Blue ones. Go onto the web sites of the shopping networks and you may find them in the gardening selection. I am going to buy a couple of the Blue ones later.

I do not recommend this hose. Once you do what is says to get the hose to expand , it starts retracting the minute you open the nozzle. Had I not gotten it dirty I would of returned this in a heartbeat.

Our Walmart returned 2 of them with no box & filthy from dirt. My daughter bought one also & her’s popped & she returned to Walmart also & she didn’t have her receipt, they said no problem they are getting them back as fast as they are selling them???

Yep. Bought one myself and within a couple days, started leaking profusely from between the hose and the plastic end that screws onto the spigot. It is lightweight and easy to store, but when your house gets soaked because of the spewing, that’s no good.

I must say I feel ripped off. Had to work over 2-1/2 hours just to pay for something that doesn’t work. Might as well have thrown that money in the trash —

Bought the 50 foot pocket hose in May of this year, one month later it’s already broken. The end that connects to the faucet leaks. I loved the concept, it was great . I’m not the only person to have problems. My friend bought one before me and theirs malfunctioned as well.You need better quality control. and no way is this the same hose material that fireman use,they would go broke, because it would only them last a week at the most. I think the material is to cheap. A stronger material that can withstand water pressure is needed. If it can’t stand the water pressure that comes out of my faucet, not way can it take the water pressure from a fire truck or fire hydrants.

My husband purchased a pocket hose for me and I was so happy. That was over a month ago. Now I am terribly disappointed. The seep around the nozzle was the first to go. To day I was using it and the seem my the nozzle exploded and another rip in the hose blew out. I was hit with a burst of water and lost my footing and fell. I now only made my existing condition of arthritis and fibromyalgia worse but I scarped my knee and arm.

I cannot find a place to lodge my complaint to the company. But there product is far from what they say it is. It’s cheap and falls apart with minimal use. If anyone knows where I can send my complaint to the company, please help.

My pocket hose, while expanding to its` full length ruptured. I can not get to speak with someone about getting a replacement or refund because there are no human beings to answer a phone call. How does one get in touch with a PERSON???

I purchased a 50′ Pocket Hose. Loved it! Doesn’t quite retract like it shows on TV, but it is still very handy and extremely LIGHT!! Does hang very easily. Now here’s my gripe. The ends are extremely light weight and “Cheap”. Have broken two. Fix that and you have a winner!

Be warned… Do not buy this hose. I was stupid enough to buy something that was made in China. I bought two of these amazing hoses. They lasted about a month before one exploded on me. It blew though the seam and the plastic fitting on one side hit me in the face. I will deal with that one later. Before this happened I bought two more because I thought these were the second coming of Christ. After the second day using the two new ones they both developed cracks/leaks on the fittings. Then yesterday the one blew up in my face. I will be contacting my lawyer on that one… Buyer beware on this product…

I purchased the pocket hose and the second time I used the hose it started leaking in four different places. I exchanged the first one because I did like the convenience of it, but after using the second one a few times it did the same thing again. I even tried to be extra careful with the hose when using and storing it. I am returning it and will never buy another one. A real scam. Ten year warranty, the hose didn’t even last 1 month.

This thing is so bad but my husband and I are still trying to get a good one. We purchased 2 50 ft. ones on sale at Home Depot for $14.99 each. Got them home the one in the front yard was ok for a few days then started pouring water out of the section where our nozzle connected to the hose and the on/off switch had a crack in it. So we took it back then got it home and the other one went and did the same thing 3 days later. So, took it back to Home Depot. They have no problem refunding or exchanging them by the way and decided to try another one. NOW the other one just did the same thing. Well I just want our money back but my husband loves it when it work, and so do I but he wants to try to exchange it one more time. But when it works its great. But there is a definite defect in them. Home Depot return person told me they get alot of returns and exchanges on them. You make your choice to buy or not.

What a piece of crap. It worked for approx. 2 to 3 minutes before the plastic part that the you put the nozzle on came off and I got covered with water. This is by far the worst garden hose I have ever bought. If I got it for free it would have been to much.

This is exactly as Orgreenic Non-Stick Fry Pans. When you see a good product ware out; then you see this thing that is touted to last forever for $19.95. I bought both of these at Rite Aid and they were great at giving me back my money.

The Trojan Condom Company should create a shorter version of this hose for guys that like to brag. Wow, I bet you would like to see that “blow out” on a Video!

Another peeve of mine is the term used for astonishingly simple solutions for your Health, Finance and Social & Political Problems. This is it: “Try This One Weird Trick”. This goes for Discount Auto Insurance; Belly Fat; Picking Up Loose Women; Picking Up Loose Men; Making Your first Million Dollars. If this is such a “Weird Trick”, why does it take a convoluted 30 to 75 minute Video to try to sell it to you? (Did Pavlov’s dog take this long to teach Salivation to?)

Then there are “the five secret words” that will get your local Bank to hand over Silver like it was nothing? I am sure that it would be, “I need some rolled coins” and the rest is up to you! This little program probably uses a ten-minute plus video, (at the least). You would think their secret was a Cancer Cure or something that would allow you to speak with the Dead!

Why don’t you people just admit that your “One Weird Trick” is trying to dredge the Internet for Micro-Cephalic Morons whom can buy these Crap-tastic Products and fill your bank Account!

I bought the 75 ft and got a second 75 ft for “free?” just pay shipping and handling. Anyhow it cost me over $50 for these 2 hoses. One is still working but I am extremely careful with it. I have one in my backyard and one in my front yard. The front yard hose was only used TWICE and then it burst and sprang water from where it was connected to the faucet on the third attempt to use it.

It’s Sunday so I haven’t tried to contact Pocket Hose yet. They say they have a ten year guarantee? After reading all the other complaints I feel very angry! I really liked the hose but if it isn’t going to last much longer and one is all ready finished…what’s the use? I’m older and like others my age, I fell for the ad as it seemed to be the answer to watering a big yard!

I hope my credit card company will help in a dispute. I’ve found another similar hose that has brass fittings. Wonder if that would be more durable?

This is a terrible product. I received it for Mother’s Day, followed the directions exactly, have used it 3 times and it is leaking PROFUSELY where the material meets the black plastic connector. It’s going in the trash. My husband wasted $20.00 on this.

I bought Pocket hose from Walmart a month ago. It bursts a hole after I use it 3 times. Took it back to Walmart and got a gift card back for the amount I’ve paid for the hose. Walmart said they are sold out of the Pocket hose. I bet you lot’s of customers are returning the JUNK hose back. A piece of trash that they are selling to customers. I rather use my old heavy hose, at least I know my old hose would not leak on me.

I sure wished I had found this site before I bought my hoses. I have not even received mine and they already have the money for it. Now I am worried I won’t get my money back, over $82. for 4 sets. I was going to give them for gifts but after reading all these reviews think better of it. I did got to Pockethose.com and bought them..now I cannot communicate with them at all because the phone number given is just a tease..they have no way of communicating with them..no email or phone. What do you do when you are stupid enough to buy before research?

When I got to their website there were 2 toll free numbers, and the 800 # worked, but didn’t get anywhere, the rep told me to go back to the place I bought it, that they would do something for me! The hoses I bought, all the shut off valves leaked, they sprung a leak in the plastic, and the shut off valve broke off 2 of them already.

I wish I had too. I just got off the phone with a customer service rep. who was not even a nice person! Then I found this website. As I was typing this, someone called me back about the problem. She practically hung up on me when I told her I found this site. Ignorant!!!

Maybe you can dispute it with the credit card company. I bought 4 of them at our Walmart (they sell them everywhere here) 2 have sprung a leak I returned with no problems & they were filthy from dirt, & 2 are still going . They are good just for a patio or small area where it won’t get drug around. My daughter bought one & her’s popped & her walmart returned it without the box or a receipt. Walmart told me they have gotten so many returns on them.

This is the WORST product ever I have had to replace two in as many weeks. I am taking the third one back for a refund. It leaks at the on off switch and it busts in the center very CHEAP. I should have known better it is made in China.

I bought one, my sister bought one, also my niece. All of them sprang a leak in less than three weeks and not repairable. There advertisement is such an untruth. I paid 28.00 dollars for mine and the others 19.99. All of us say don’t fall for there scam what a disappointment for all of us. We want our money back. DO NOT BUY ONE.

I ordered the “deluxe” 100′ hose because we live on a farm. When I received the package, I was informed the “deluxe” was not available and they sent the “regular” version. And it was not 100′, they sent 2 50′ hoses.

They did adjust the price, but it’s not what I ordered. I went thru the same thing 5 months ago and returned the hoses. Thought I’d try it again, hoping to get the “deluxe” and have decided they don’t even carry the “deluxe.” Would this be considered a bait & switch scam.

I am not looking forward to calling customer service because it is a nightmare to try and reach a REAL person.

Do Not Purchase this product. After only five uses, the hose busted and can no longer be used. Poorly tested product! Waste of money! I expected at least a little quality – but was disappointed instead! Don’t waist your money!

I am a senior lady and find the regular garden hoses very heavy and difficult to handle. I was so excited when I saw the commercial on TV and couldn’t wait to buy the 50′ Pocket Hose. Well, I couldn’t be more disappointed in the one I bought at a Rite Aid Store in N. California. I used it only a dozen times to water garden flowers and wash my car and the last time I used it, it sprung a pinhole leak about 5′ from the nozzle caused by a sticker weed. I returned it to the store and received a refund. I will not buy another one of these hoses and will caution my friends not to buy one either. Somebody didn’t do their homework before putting it on the market.

This is a piece of crap!!! I went thru 4 of them in a 2 week period. They all broke in different ways.. water build up in the middle popped the first one, 2nd one within 3 sec of turning the water on the on/off switch popped off.. 3rd one sprung a leak at the top of it and the 4th one the end of the nozzle just popped right off.. I have finally give up on finding one that works and exchanging them was starting to become a part time job so I settled for an in store credit at the place it was purchased..DO NOT FOR ANY REASON PURCHASE ONE OF THESE!!!! The concept behind them is great but they either rushed these to market without enough testing or just did not give a shit. I would have been willing to pay double the price for a hose like this if it had been better made!

Pure junk. Ordered two and used one and after three to four uses the end connection blew off. The other problem yet to be resolved is trying to return these items for credit. Impossible to talk to a real person and their website only allows you to check order status. They provide a “800” number but only for orders and order status. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS JUNK.

LOVE it ! $ 20 for 50 feet of hose.I have 3 Mine has lasted for over a month. I saved my receipt in the box. Then went and bought a spare so that when and if first one goes bad, I will simply return. I don’t expect to much for a $ 20 water hose. I think it the best product since sliced bread ! But, I will say that I believe some people have to much pressure for this type of hose. All 3 of mine have a pin hole in the part that screws off where the off on switch is but I left it on and put a spray nozzle on. I kinda think it my be some type of pressure relief ???? Any hoot, I love my Pocket Hose 😉

Bought my first hose at bed bath and beyond, the on/ off nozzle broke the first time turning it on, exchanged for another and that one lasted about 2 weeks before it blew out, the big clear bubble burst and water went everywhere. I love the concept of this hose however it just does not work as it is made of cheap materials. I won’ t buy another one and I do NOT recommend.

Bought the pocket hose (50 ft) at Walgreens. Had it for about 3 weeks, worked great, no leaks, until it blew a hole in itself midway on it…CRAZY! Will not buy another, chalking this one up to a odd learning experience. this hose is a great idea, but poorly made. Hope its like many products and we will soon see the “NEW AND IMPROVED” label on it with a better guarantee.

I too bought mine at local store. It was a 50ft. hose &it worked great for about 3 weeks. Then one evening went to use it as always to water flower bed & BANG it sprung a HUGE leak! It poured out of the seam about 10 inches or so from the top but, you can tell that the malfunction was the hose itself. It must have burst or split inside & the water just gushed out.

Will return this for another because being someone who has had a stroke it was light weight and easy to handle. BUT, if the next one springs a geyser or malfunctions I will mot purchase another.

REALLY,REALLY disappointed in the Pocket Hose (50ft.) that I purchased at The Home Depot in Corona, Ca. I have so far returned the hose for an exchange four times. !st. hose “blew out”,2nd. hose had a cracked nozzle so sprayed all over, 3rd hose also a tiny crack and sprayed everyone (replaced it with a metal nozzle and was okay for two weeks then “blew out” again while I was using it. Returned it again, hooked up my 4th.hose and as soon as the hose filled up and stretched out, it “blew out” again.

What I’ve spent in gas back and forth to Home Depot (who has been very cooperative in exchanging this product) plus my time has left me extremely frustrated. Guess I will return it for the 5th. time and go back to the old type hose or try a different brand other than Telebrand Pocket Hose. Something is wrong with this picture. How could it have gotten such good reviews with Consumer Services ????(who I will also be contacting)

We purchased (2) 25 ft. and (2) 50 ft. hoses in early May of this year. We were amazed at how this hose worked and at first were very happy with the results. My husband showed anyone that came to the house. We found that the one 50 ft. hose was leaking and tried various ways to try fixing it so that it could be used. After trying everything including using new clamps etc that you normally would use to fix any hose, we found that there is no way these hoses can be fixed and threw it away. You need to inform the general public that no matter how very careful you are with these hoses that they probably should be considered a “throw away” and may or may not last part of or even a whole season of use.

I purchased the Pocket Hose and really like it at first. So I went back and bought another one. And not but a few months of use and both are broken, UNUSABLE!
on the first hose, the plastic turn valve used to open and close the water flow broke off. Now it squirts you in the face every time you turn it on.

On the other, the outer green cloth covering ripped in half and exposed the inner rubber tube. This exposed area blows up like a water balloon and eventually it too will break and send water flying everywhere.

This product is NOT Good Quality! I will not purchase it again! I tried to get my money back and as it turns out, they only offer that for 30 days. And the big 10 year warranty is only if you want to get another one of the crazy things… they will send you a replacement hose. NO THANKS!

DO NOT BUY THROUGH POCKETHOSE.COM. They DO charge your card or bank account immediately and if you have any problems with the order you get a run around. If you really want this hose, go to a local store. The website is a sham!

Just think. Many people decided to buy one of these “hoses” because those same people were too lazy to buy a good hose only because it required them to roll it up. Now, doesn’t this prove that people are becoming lazier and lazier by the second?

Really disappointed with my my new pocket hose. First time use ruptured the clear plastic inner hose when I turned off the hose at the end while under pressure. I’m getting my money back from this piece of crap as soon as possible.

Recommended by 2 co-workers and apparently they do not use them much. Wish I would’ve read these posts before I bought one. Mine lasted for about a month. Sounded like a balloon popped and scared the poop outta me. Couldn’t return it without a box or receipt, so they got another sucker to spend $20.00 on a piece of poop that wound up in my trash can. Good riddance to bad rubbish… Last time I buy an as seen on tv deal.

I to purchased two 50′ hoses. The first lasted about 40 minutes before the end blew off. The second lasted less than 30 minutes before exploding out the side near the center. The 2nd hose blew as I was using it to add water to a fish tank so now I know why they advise against using it inside. They know it only has about a one hour life expectancy for actual use. This is the worst product I ever purchased. Never use this hose if you actually need a hose to last for more than 30 minutes or where bursting might cause damage! ;~<

Horrible! buy one get one free any size, I ordered a 50ft hose and paid 1/2 price for the 2nd. the first week the first hose sprung a leak right in the middle, used the 2nd hose and exact same location leak. Called customer service and they sent me the 1st hose replacement, 2nd hose replacement on back order. USED the 1st replacement hose AND SPRUNG A LEAK AGAIN!!!, guaranteed only if you save the original containers and its up to them, after they receive your return, to determine if a refund is warranted, if they do not agree with you-you get no refund, no replacement, nor will they send you back your item, so your OUT EITHER WAY!! DO NOT BUY HERE. All within a period from 5-1-13-6-10-13.

I have two Pocket Hoses…..one in front and one in back yards. I loved everything about the Pocket Hose for a short time. It truly does everything as advertised. However, neither of my Pocket Hoses performed to my satisfaction. From the beginning, when I attached my sprayer, there was a major leak at the connection, even after putting new rubber washers in the sprayer. Not only did the hoses leak at the sprayer, one of them began to spray from the connection where the hose itself attaches to the female end. I wish these hoses had been all I expected them to be. I dread dragging out the old rubber hoses again!!! It could be one of the worst $19.99 I ever spent (twice).

Well, I hate to say it, but I love this hose. Why do I hate to say it? Because I will keep buying them even thought they blow up every month. The ease of use makes it so worth it for me. Of course, I’m hoping that eventually I’ll get the ‘good’ one : )

I purchased one of these hoses last week on vacation. I can’t return it though without driving hours round trip. The first time I used it the little nozzle switch leaked some. I could live with that. The second time I used it the whole side blew out and it soaked me before I could get it shut off. I will never recommend this hose to anyone!!!

What a disappointment! I purchased two (sucker that I am). The first one had a miss-shaped hose connection, so it would not twist on the hose bib. The 2nd one exploded the 2nd time I used it. I would return them, but I didn’t open the package for at least 30 days after I received them. Thus voiding the warranty…. There goes $50 bucks that I could really use.

Your hose sucks. I had one for two months. I went to use it the other day and water came out every where but the end. I have had regular hoses for three years or more and it’s still as good as the day I bought it. The Pocket Hose is not worth blowing to h. e. double hockey sticks and back. Thank you very much for stealing my money (notice the sarcasm.)

I too purchased two of these. One for my mother and one for me. Total waste of money!!! Broke the on/off knob on my moms and when I attached mine to my water hose AFTER reading the directions, it exploded on me. Never even got the chance to use it. I still have my receipt so it will be going back to the store!! DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

I had purchased a 50 ft. pocket hose from a Walgreen’s store. It was fantastic for about a month. The plastic fitting that attaches to the hydrant has been the problem for both hoses. I returned the first hose when this happened and now I will return the second one for the same reason. Come on…put some metal fittings on these things! Is the glue bad….what gives?

Oh what fun!!! I bought the 50ft. pocket hose at Walmarts,had it for 2 month’s….The outer layer ripped open yesterday,then a big bulge formed,like a balloon,then it burst wide open!!! The little on/off thingy broke the 1st day! I loved that hose…..But will never buy another one!!

This hose was fantastic,until it exploded!! Scared the hell out of me!There is nothing more then a long balloon inside the cover! I live in Fl. and have never had a hose explode!! Be very careful people,you could get hurt!! Maggie

I bought 2 of these hoses at Walmart and within a few months the first on broke at the joint so we put a different sprayer on it and couldn’t get it to stop leaking, the 2nd on split just below the valve. These are a wonderful idea but I’ll never buy another one.

I bought the pocket hose at Wal-Mart. Used it the first day and was excited it was light and easy to use my four year could handle it. I went to use it the next day and water gushed all over from the hose itself. I don’t know what could have happen in one day. But I will return it to the store and go back to the heavy clunky water hose I can trust.

I just bought one from Walgreens. I don’t know if it works or not because the little on/off switch broke as my husband was removing the tag! The employees at Walgreens warned us to save our receipt as the plastic end piece snaps off easily. I would have liked to have tried it once. He returned it and I’ll go back to the clunky garden hose. At least I know it works.

I purchased a 50 ft. pocket hose about 3 months ago. I really liked the way it worked and went and bought 2 more. The second 2 I bought were just a piece of junk. They both leaked so bad and would not hold any pressure to keep them inflated. I will not recommend to any one. Is there any way that I can get them replaced? If not they will get a very bad review from me.

I purchased my hose at Wal-Mart, and have been very pleased with it. Recently I went to turn it on, and just below the connection to the faucet, the hose split right below the connection. I’ve only had the hose for a short time, and was disappointed that it gave out so quickly after all the hype on the commercials for its durability.

now I know why they give you one free (freight is extra of course). The first breaks in one week, then the second breaks about three days after that. What a joke and a disappointment to boot. A WASTE OF $50 DON’T PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT.

Total piece of crap. Bought 3 of these 50 foot hoses. 1st one worked like a champ, loved it. Bought another for the back yard. After 3 uses it developed pin holes and I blamed the cat for biting it. It did not explode but started leaking in one place like a sieve. Through it out. Bought a third hose, into this product not for 60 bucks. Third one started with the pin holes, spraying every where on the first use. Back to the 1st one…it flat exploded, tore a hole in the outer lining. It seems this hose cannot take any kind of pressure. If you are not constantly releasing the pressure it will start leaking or explode. Walmart in my town would not take it back, said we left it in the sun, our fault. Who would imagine a garden hose that cannot tolerate sun???? This product is a great idea but horrible design. Hope some one can figure out how to make this work because it is a wonderful space saver. As it stands right now, don’t waste your money.

Very disappointed in this hose. I bought the heavy duty hose and it leaks at both ends. The couplings should be made of metal in my opinion. When you try to attach a plant sprayer it comes out in a dribble. Save your money and buy a regular hose. Contacted customer service and they offered to replace hoses, but I did not get any confirmation to that effect by e-mail. Costs more to send them back at this point. Not a happy customer!!!

I purchased two 50′ pocket hoses and both blew out. I returned both hoses to the store where purchased and got a refund. While the concept is good, the hose components are of a poor quality. Manufacturer should go back to the drawing board. I would not recommend this product.

I love the idea of the hose. However, I have had very little luck getting one to last more than 2 days. I have exchanged my hoses without any problems but it is getting old now. I purchased 3 hoses and I have exchanged 11. Picked up a new one yesterday, connected it this morning and it leaked as soon as the water was turned on.

Total waste of money. Leaked from day one no matter what kind of nozzle I put on it. Then it split down the middle after about 2 weeks. Couldn’t find my receipt so I just have to accept “Lesson Learned”. SCAM!!!

Should have read these first… What a waste of money!! Leaks at both ends and sprays a fine mist the length of the hose…. I want my money back!!!!! I got 2 50fters….. I want my money back!! You ripped all of us off…..

I purchased a 100ft. hose and was in love with the convenience and weightlessness. Within 3 or 4 weeks of regular use, it exploded on me. What a waste. wish it was more durable and dependable. At my age being light weight was what I truly appreciated. My brother bought one and his exploded also, about three weeks into use. Perhaps a replacement could be considered.

The pocket hose that my wife purchased turned out to be a waste of our money. First the control knob broke off when my wife was using it, secondly while using the hose I lost water pressure coming out of the hose and when checked the hose the seam about half when down split and all the water was coming out there. I thought about cutting that section out and splicing the hose but decided against that and tossed the hose in my garbage can where it is currently, so much for your great warranty which would probably take a year for any response from your company.

The worst garden hose ever made. I purchased 2 of the 50 foot size and within two months they both were leaking from both end attachments and one had puncture holes in several places. IT does not shrink back to actual size after the first use and never ever will again. BUYER BEWARE!!

Totally agree. It’s the biggest ripoff I’ve ever seen. I bought a 25 ft. and a 50 ft. hose. It didn’t take long for them to start leaking. I wouldn’t give you a nickel for these hoses. Really feel ripped off on this one. Big time. If you’re thinking of buying these hoses, take my advice, DON’T. Please DON’T.

I purchased the Pocket Hose (50 feet) from Bed, Bath & Beyond about 2 months ago. It worked really great until about a week ago, when, like so many of these other reviewers, the hose seal burst at the spigot attached end. Now it is totally useless. As with the others, I did not keep my receipt after about a week or two, so now I have paid $19.99 for something that is completely useless. How can we all get our money back on these?

This is the absolute worst product – ever. I purchased 2 of them early this year. The top assembly burst while I was watering the garden and the seam of the hose sprayed water everywhere. And, the shut-off toggle came off in a few pieces to boot. I thought perhaps it was just one bad hose so I bought a replacement for it. As I was watering the garden – using it for the first time today – the hose just below the coupling, started to balloon out and then popped spraying water everywhere. I have the receipt for one of them – the other 2 – wasted money. I would recommend to anyone – DON’T buy this product!

Just to day 6/4 I saw the ad on TV for pocket hose, saying it was guaranteed for 10 years, so I went to this site and read all these reviews with not one giving it a good or even close to good rating. Thank you, I will continue to use my 10 year old rubber hose, that kinks now & then but keeps on working.

I purchased a 50 ft hose for washing cars. Was only used in the garage area but within two weeks, the hose started leaking. Didn’t save my receipt so could not take it back. Great idea, worked great as long as it lasted!

I bought the 50 footer at Home Depot and the hose seems to operate as advertised but the cut-off valve is a piece of junk. It leaked from the first use so I replaced it with one I had. If the hose doesn’t come apart at the connectors it s/b an okay product. It could, however be made much better.

I purchased two 50 foot pocket hoses. No matter how many times they are used a white foam comes out of the hose with the water. I hesitate to use these on anything we eat or for any animals since there is no way to find out why the hoses foam and information about the materials used. Now one hose leaks. I’m returning them. Realized in washing down my deck the water went into my rain barrels. Now I have to dump 150 gallons of water and scrub them clean before using them again! I will be buying potable water hoses instead.

I’ve purchased 2 of these hoses. BOTH of them have broken. The first one broke where it was connected to the spigot from the house. Water started pouring out when I turned the water on and it wasn’t an issue of the connections being tight. The 2nd one just broke this morning as I was watering my plants. The fabric just disintegrated and the hose inside started swelling like a water balloon right below where I connected the spray nozzle. Needless to say, I’m very disappointed with this product and, as I purchased both over 2 months ago, I can’t return them to the store. Buyer Beware!!!

Bought two, used first one for 2 minutes and the connecter on hose burst off leaving me soaked and hose squirming around my feel shooting water. The second one my husband used, worked great first time, second time the same thing happened – the connector on hose flew off and water everywhere until we could capture the hose. Two hoses bought – two hoses broke almost immediately. Don’t waste your money

Loved this product, until today. It just started spraying water everywhere near the connection point of the spigot. I think I got more watered than my plants. I have only used it maybe a 1/2 dozen times. Definitely a design flaw. Love the concept but needs to go back to the drawing board and give people their money back. I don’t have my walmart receipt. 🙁

There is a darker green Flexible Hose https://www.flexablehoseoffer.com and a blue hose “X-Hose”. They all seem to do the same thing, just from different manufacturers. Has anyone tried one of these other color hoses??

This hose is a pile of junk I am lucky to get three uses out of it before it bursts I am not sure the pocket hose has had any kind of quality control this is my 6th hose thank god Walgreen’s takes them back come on pocket hose do your testing before you take our money.

The pocket hose does not come with any attachment for watering … Messy opening for watering … And no … No watering nozzle fits the opening at all…. None nada nothing works so that photo of a nozzle they show is a fake…. And they do not allow anyone to contact them by any means … The ph # they list is for ordering through an automated system … No contact… Ha

I watched the demonstration on television and it looked great. I purchased a 25 foot and a 50 foot hose at Wal-Mart in Texas just before leaving in our motor home for Iowa & Wisconsin. When we arrived at a campground in Kansas I connected my new 25 foot hose to the coach and we left for dinner for about an hour and when we returned our new hose had blown apart in the center and water was running down the street. I, like so my others did not keep my receipt so we are stuck with both worthless hoses. I thought it was to good to be true and I was right. It looks like they are very poorly made. Another lesson learned!!

As excited as we were when we so the T.V Ad for this hose we could not wait to buy one….Well what a disappointment – The 1st hose bought from Big Lots in Rochester NY worked great, we were unsure how good it would be so we only bought the 25ft hose.Awesome worked great just like the ad showed,now we want to add on to have a longer hose and what a joke.We have bought a total of 5 25ft hose from Walmart here in Batavia NY and everyone had to be returned – either it would not connect correctly and leak or it would leak further down the hose and the one we took back AGAIN to just plain out busted in the middle.When we got up to the return desk the young man said to us – Let me guess ” It leaks ” correct he was and stated that many of these hoses have been returned for that very reason..Because we do like the hose we will keep trying until we find one that does not leak when joined to the other,but when friends or family ask how we like the hose we are sure to tell the truth about it.Thanks for letting me comment, Cheryl D.

I own a small townhouse and full sized hoses take up a lot of room and are cumbersome. Thought my prayers had been answered by this product. Bought a 25′ at Home Depot (of course, not saving the receipt) and absolutely loved the hose, but I noticed that it was leaking at the little turn off thingy. I though “no big deal” until it EXPLODED after having it only for two weeks. EXPLODED! My kid was using it when it happened. Thank the Lord that she was not injured! Found this site when I was online looking to buy another and boy am I glad I did! I had thought that I had just gotten a faulty one and was prepared to repurchase. RUN FROM THIS PRODUCT!!!

I purchased a pocket hose and when we put it on our outside faucet it started to come apart. It started to tear on both ends before we could even use it. Definitely is not worth what I paid for it. I could buy a cheap hose and use it all summer and get more use out of it than this one. Not worth what I paid for it!!

I bought the 75 foot hose, was really excited. Used it about 2 weeks. Turned it on last week, the green material on the outside disintegrated and a large bubble formed in the rubber hose. Before I could set the hose down and turn the water off it exploded, literally. There was a large boom followed by a rather complete soaking. I also have a burn mark across the whole width of my arm where the rubber hit me when it exploded. Not only are these devices worthless they are also very dangerous. Imagine if it had been a child using the hose and not an adult. If you value your safety stay as far away from these things as you can.

I purchased the 50ft hose I was pretty excited to get it home got it all hooked up turned on the water that was a month ago im still waiting for it to shrink back to its original size never did now today when I turned the water on to water my plants the hose blew apart at the seam the water pressure really sucks here maybe 30lbs at the most I live about a 1000 ft of the main road so its not the pressure that blew it apart I am very unhappy with this product I will never buy another

I purchase the pocket hose at Kmart brought it home only to find out I guess you need a special nozzle for it, I have bought 3 still leaks like a sieve, it was so nice having a hose that I didn’t have to fight with, even got used to being soaked wet each time I water the lawn, but after having the pocket hose only 4 weeks it springs a leak in the middle of the hose , I think someone needs to go back to the drawing board , I know I only spent 20.00 for one 50 ft. But I think it should have lasted more than 4 weeks. So disappointed

I boght a 50ft pocket hose from Bed BAth & Beyond. I loved that it was small and lightweight and it expanded with water as advertised. After each use I would put this hose in my garage to keep the sun from eating the outer material. The 4th or fifth time I used it, it sprung a leak. It was just a pin hole, it was like a small slit. There wasn’t anything on the ground to have made this slit it just happened. I am so disappointed and leary about getting another.

I happened to find these reviews online AFTER I bought mine yesterday. I kept thinking …this is too good to be true! I had a gut feeling it might NOT be such a great invention. The hose is still in the box…never used it…sooooo I’m taking it back and getting my money back. Thanks for sharing…I put this site on my favorites!

I have purchased 4 of these items and each one has failed within 30 days. The only warning on the package(s) is to not leave them in outside in either extreme cold or hot weather and that is understandable. However, I have a wide yard with much vegetation that I water every other day and the hoses simply did not hold up. Bubbles formed in the plastic which burst and another hose became detached at the nozzle after the second use. I am not certain for which purpose these ill-conceived contraptions were made but they are totally ineffective and poorly constructed for anything but minor chores. I would not and do not recommend this product in any way from anywhere.

Got the 50′ hose from PCH a month ago. Just tried to use it today. What a farce! Followed directions to a tee. Didn’t expand or retract, and leaked at nozzle. Love that it’s so lightweight, but that’s about it. After reading other reviews, it’s going directly in the trash. Buyer beware.

Wish I would have visited this site before I purchased the 50 ft hose @ Home Depot. Threw away the receipt before I used the hose and wish I would not have. First use both connectors leak very bad. Thank goodness for duct tape, at least it’s usable (somewhat) now. Great concept, cheap connectors. Don’t waste your money.

Bought three of these hoses at Lowes. In one week, two of the hoses blew off the faucet. Some clear tubing material blew out onto the yard. Waiting for the third hose to fail. Can not believe that Lowes is continuing to sell this junk. What a waste of money!

The design/concept of all these flex hose ,pocket hose is good. However, the quality control of all similar products are terrible. The hose itself or the joints leaks or cracks very easily after several use. May be they should manufacture all the products in USA, instead of have them made in China.

Wow a whole page of reviews and every single one is negative. This hose clearly is a failure, not one positive review and it appears no one from the company is reading them. I was pretty excited about purchasing the pair of 50 foot hoses but not now thank you all for your reviews this is so very important when you’re on the fence about a new product. One last thing i don’t believe there was any mention of money back guarantee.

I call the company a short while ago and asked for refund. At least they have promised to give me a free replacement within 2 weeks. They claimed that the pocket hose has life time warranty. But at the end of the conversation, the Indian accented representative wanted to sell me some other products. I refused.

purchased in Jan 2013; loved the product . Didnt abuse it (even tho it is shown on tv being handled roughly). By May, it had a significant leak at the bottom of the plastic female adapter that connects to the faucet. no tear or visible damage. Purchased at WalMart, but past their 90 day policy so they said to go to the mfg/distributor. Dist’d by Telebrands to WalMart. Trying to contact. The TV ad said 10 year life…Ha Ha

I bought a 50′ hose and have used it 4 times and it “blew”. The on/off switch came off in my hand. I’ve ordered more, and am cancelling my order. This a huge rip off. Great idea, loved the concept, HATE THE PRODUCT.

Bought three, one lasted 1 week, sprang a hole in the middle, 2nd lasted 1 day, sprang a hole in the middle, 3rd lasted 1 and a half weeks sprang a hole in the middle. Use the product as suggested after use emptied the hose and stored in the garage. Useless product!!!

Bought 4 of these hoses… Within the third use the hose connections at both end started to leak so bad I had no pressure. That was on 2 of them the third one first time using it, it developed these leaks. These things are not repairable either, don’t waste your money. It’s just a surgical tube inside a woven sleeve that expands.. their system of attaching the tube to the connections is atrocious!

Don’t waste your money… Ordered the 75 and 50 foot. Used 3 times and the 75 foot split apart at the faucet and the 50 foot is leaking like crazy. Been trying to reach their customer service. On hold 20 minutes and they still don’t answer… Big big big ripoff…

I tried to order this hose and both web sites I ordered from lost my order. I guess I’m glad as I am reading all these reviews. I think if they can not even get an order right I am pretty sure the product isn’t any better

I bought two of these 50 ft hoses and both did the same thing…..they started leaking and the green material tore and the plastic tube underneath broke and I had water everywhere. This leak was at the spigot where you connect the hose. I do not sales receipts so I cannot get refunds. Buyer BEWARE!!!

Got a pocket hose as a present and at first it worked great but that did not last long. It now leaks where the material goes into the connection. A friend of mine also had one and it blew apart. Would never recommend or buy another one. Rip off.

I ordered 2-100′ pocket hose on May 14, 2013 and used it today for the first time and the off/on level came off in my hand. The hose began to leak badly where the hose goes into the spigot. It did not retract like they said it would. Off back to the company because this is a mess and want a full refund. Don’t waste your money because this is garbage.

I purchased two 75′ Pocket Hoses in March and used one of them about 6 times and the other about 3 times and both ends came loose at the back of the faucet fitting. They are worthless. I am hoping to get my money back. This just happened to both hoses this weekend so I have not had a chance to contact customer service but will do so Tuesday.

We recently purchased 2 25ft pocket hoses. They are absolute crap. Started leaking really bad within 2 weeks of minimal use. These things should be removed from the shelf because they do not work. Very misleading ads. Cheap useless product.

This is the worst hose I have ever purchased in 50 years! First few days of use it was fine. I attached a sprinkler, turned it on and it literally blew a four inch hole. Then I was going to just use it to fill a tub nearby and there were so many holes it didn’t even come out the end anymore.

What a piece of crap!!!!!!! the plastic fittings leak from everywhere. I even attempted to put Teflon tape on fittings. Then today it exploded on me. I BOUGHT THREE OF THESE HOSES AND ALL ARE GOING BACK TO WALMART TODAY.

I have had a pocket hose for approx. 2 months and the valve that turns the flow off to fill it with water broke off. This renders the hose totally unusable. I loved this hose so I’m very disappointed! It’s unfixable as I examined it closely and the water now shoots out of this opening. Any suggestions?

I bought a pocket hose at Walmarts, it did not have a nozzle on it. I used it twice and it blowed a hole in the hose. It is no good! And is falsely advertized. I want my money back. But I did not save receipt.

Then it broke. The rubber hose broke at the attachment. It is such an easy fix but the company does not provide a replacement fix kit. Too bad. I paid $50 for my 50′ hose and it is now worthless. I can’t afford to buy a new one.

I am very disappointed and feel everyone should know that this Great product is a waste of money. Too bad because the concept is the best ever.

Purchased a pocket hose at Wal Mart. Used it three times and it developed a huge leak at the connector. Would NOT purchase this product again. Good idea but needs to go back to the drawing board for much needed improvements.

Had five. Loved them! But, so far, four developed pen hole leaks. Fixed the first one, turned on the water, had another ph leak. Yesterday, two more ph leaks in two other hoses. Oh well, great while it lasted. Now I am back to hose reel. These hoses are less than two months old.

I have purchased a total of 3 Pocket hoses. I first purchased 2, then after 3 or 4 uses one of them started leaking at the faucet end. So, being unable to repair it I threw it away and purchased the 3rd thinking this was just an exception to the rule. Now the one just purchased started leaking on the faucet end just like the 1st one did. So, we have now returned to using a conventional hose after having spent $60.00 on a poorly manufactured product. The concept is great but the quality and durability is poor. I won’t be purchasing any more of these hoses. I have learned my lesson the hard way. A very disappointed customer.

I have purchased two 50′ pocket hoses. The first one I purchased about two months ago. It sprang a major leak today 05-22-13, I purchased this one over the internet & I have no recourse. I purchased the second one three weeks ago at K-Mart I had to replace it last week when the plastic lever broke. Today I had the same problem the plastic lever broke again & they are not fixable because the screw that holds it on is too small. I attempted to put a nozzle on it in place of their cheap nozzle. No matter what you do it leaks where you attach the nozzle. In my opinion they will not hold up and I will not purchase another one.

Bought the Pocket hose at KMart. OMG, I loved it. It was light weight and did everything the tv ad claimed it did. Then ONE week later, it blew a big hole in it. Went back to KMart and traded it for a new one, because lets face it all products have flaws. Enjoyed it for another week and, you guessed it, it got a hole in it ??? Went to KMart and got my money back. The ad did not say disposable hose, did it, and I missed it??

What a piece of junk. Bought 6 Pocket Hoses because I have 3 outlets at my house, gave 1 as a gift and was going to give more as gifts but not after my no. 1 sprang a leak, my no. 2 leaked at the intake end and my no. 3 sprang 7 pin hole leaks, and that after only 2 weeks of use. Called sales rep. and he wanted to replace them with hoses that he guaranteed would not leak. Why not ship them to me first.
